Capturing meaningful moments for couples who care more about connection than perfection

sincerely & beautifully

An experience that's both elevated and genuine does exist.

Whether you're exchanging vows in Florida, Tennessee, on a Disney Cruise, or somewhere halfway around the world, my approach remains the same: helping you stay present while preserving the moments you'll never want to forget.

Your wedding day isn't a photoshoot. It's a collection of moments. The laughter with your best friends. The tears during your vows. The hug from your grandmother. The way your partner looks at you when they think no one is watching.

I'll document your day as it naturally unfolds while offering gentle guidance when needed, creating space for genuine connection instead of constant posing. Because years from now, the images you'll treasure most won't be the perfect ones. They'll be the ones that transport you back to exactly how it felt.

The tight hand squeezes. The happy tears. The belly laughs. The fireworks over the ocean after your Disney Cruise wedding. The quiet moments in between.

Those are the memories worth holding onto.

about your experience

I specialize in Florida weddings, engagements, family, maternity, seniors, and motherhood photography — documenting the moments that feel the biggest, the messiest, and the most alive. From the butterflies before “I do” to growing families and the beautiful chaos in between, my goal is to preserve your story honestly and intentionally. When you choose Salt + Heart, you’re not just booking a photographer for one season of life. You’re choosing someone to tell your story through all of it.

Here's how I'll capture your love story

Guided, never forced

You’ll never be left wondering what to do, but you’ll never feel overly posed either.
With a balance of direction and space to move naturally, your photos come from real connection, not stiff moments.

This is about being fully present in your day while it’s happening — not performing for it.

Digital + 35mm film

A blend of digital and 35mm film brings depth, texture, and something tangible to your story.
Digital captures the clarity. Film holds the feeling.

Together, they create a gallery that feels timeless, layered, and entirely your own.

Moments over perfection

The in-between moments matter just as much as the big ones.
The way your hand finds theirs, the laughter you didn’t expect, the quiet pauses that hold everything together.

Nothing is rushed or over-orchestrated — because the most meaningful images are the ones you didn’t see coming.

REAL STORIES. REAL PEOPLE.
REAL MOMENTS.

Every image you see throughout Salt + Heart comes from a real wedding day, real session, real family, and real connection. No styled shoots pretending to be weddings. No hired models presented as clients. No perfectly controlled moments created solely for content.

Just real people living some of the most meaningful moments of their lives.

From emotional wedding days and Disney celebrations to motherhood sessions filled with sandy toes, windblown hair, and beautifully chaotic moments, the work you see here reflects genuine experiences and honest storytelling.

Real moments are unpredictable. They move fast. They’re emotional, imperfect, joyful, loud, quiet, and impossible to recreate exactly the same way twice. That’s the magic of them.

My approach is rooted in documenting your story as it naturally unfolds while guiding you in a way that still feels effortless and true to you. The galleries throughout this website are a genuine reflection of what your experience and final images can actually look and feel like when working with Salt + Heart.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, family session, maternity photos, newborn moments, or something beautifully in between, I’m so glad you’re here. Tell me a little about what you’re dreaming up, and I’ll be in touch soon with next steps, availability, and all the details you need.
