I didn't always know that i wanted to be a photographer, but I did always know how much I loved photography. My grandparents are nature photographers and I have always been enamored with their work. My mom gave me my digital camera when I was 14 and I fell in love. Not until my freshman year of college did I realize that this is what I wanted to do with my life. So now, here I am. Living my dream. And now, my amazing husband Zack is in on the dream too!
Zack and I are a husband and wife photography team (whenever he's not out saving lives as a amazing paramedic/firefighter). He's the most incredible man in the world. We both adore weddings. No, not just because of the free cake (although, we could eat cake for breakfast, so it's a plus!), but because of how much love and excitement there is.
We live in Lynchburg, Virginia and we live in a beautiful 108 year old traditional white house. We fell in love with sprawling wrap-around porch and the second floor balcony that boasts a view of the Blue-Ridge Mountains.
We have THE sweetest fur babies in the entire world, Brodie, Brynlie and Bella. Brodie is our 6 year old Maltese and 8 pounds of the sweetest cuddles. He will always be my baby. That little pup has a special place in my heart. I got Brodie before Zack and I got married. Brynlie is our 1 year old mini poodle and she keeps us on our toes! She's full of energy and she's too smart for her own good. Bella is our outdoor kitty, and she keeps us safe from the bugs and critters. And I promise you that you've never seen a pup love a cat as much as Brynlie loves Bella.
Zack... where to begin. To say that I am lucky to be loved by this man would be an understatement. He's a gentle, patient and loving man who spends his life saving others. Zack is a paramedic firefighter with the city of Lynchburg and is always doing what he can to better himself to better protect and serve others.
When I'm not photographing weddings, I am an Instructor Professor of graphic design at Liberty University. I have my Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and Photography and I love that I get to live my life surrounded by
art and those who love it.

Meet our little
Our firefighter and hero, manager of all things business, second shooter, handy man, and energizer bunny that brings all the fun to our family.
Meet our little
After losing two angel babies, we welcomed Greyson "Grey" David Rygh in 2022. We are so excited to be parents to this little man. He's a busy boy who is obsessed with cars. Pretty sure we hear the word "cars" 100x a day.
This year we welcomed Tatum to the family. He is a literal angel. He's so sweet, cuddly and absolutely obsessed with Grey. His raspy laugh and wrinkled nose has been such a joy to get to know.
I got Brodie the year before we got married and he's been my best friend ever since. He's the best company on the nights that Zack is at work. He's the sweetest pup you'll ever meet and no matter how old he is, he always look like a puppy.
This little girl has been such a blessing to our family. She is the most energetic and playful poodle you'll ever meet. She is fiercely loyal and an aggressive cuddler with an obsession for tiny toys. It's the best.
