A chrysalis is a curious thing.
From the outside, it appears still. Quiet. Unchanging.
But inside, an entire transformation is taking place.
Perhaps that's why I've always been drawn to them.
Some of life's most sacred transformations happen the same way. Quietly. Slowly. Until one day we look back and realize we're no longer the same.
The Chrysalis Collection was created to honor those sacred transformations and preserve them, so you can return to them again and again, long after the day has passed.

If you’re feeling called to wander deeper, you’ll find the Experience page just a little farther down the path.

I don't offer traditional, posed family photography. I'm drawn to the moments that unfold naturally instead. In-home mornings. Grass-stained knees, muddy boots, and pockets tucked full of nature's little treasures. If that sounds like your kind of magic, I hope you'll find your way into the ferns.

Family Sessions Note:
People often ask why I call myself a fairy with a camera.
I've always been drawn to the places where magic likes to hide.
That's exactly how I move through a wedding day, quietly observing and anticipating the moments that unfold naturally, preserving the magic tucked between them, where the most treasured pieces of your story are often found.

I’ve never seen nature rush a transformation.
Ferns don’t unfurl overnight. Butterflies don’t emerge before they’re ready.
The most beautiful things become exactly what they’re meant to be in their own time. That’s what I love about elopements and micro weddings. They create space for your wedding day to unfold the same way.
Before you flutter into forever.
Before the vows, before the celebration, before a lifetime of butterflies, there's this beautiful season. One filled with anticipation, quiet excitement, and the joy of knowing your greatest adventure is just beginning.

(2 to 30 people) starting at $2,300 USD
Some celebrations deserve an extra pair of wings. For weddings with over 150 guests, large wedding parties, getting ready in multiple locations, or if you want more complete coverage of your day. Starting at $500.
A dreamy, cinematic one-minute film. A whimsical keepsake that preserves the movement, emotion, and wonder of your day, allowing you to relive it again and again.
A tiny piece of magic you can hold.
Each Polaroid is lovingly scanned, preserved, and tucked into the mail with a handwritten note, creating a nostalgic keepsake from your sacred day.
The closest thing I've ever found to real magic is a roll of 35mm film. A little light, a little chemistry, and a little patience are all part of the magic before it finds its way back to you.
A handmade digital collage created from the little pieces of your story. Photographs, details, textures, and memories from your day are gathered together into one whimsical keepsake made just for you.
After our video call, I'll send over a dreamy proposal with everything you need to begin your journey through the ferns, along with a thoughtfully curated collection of add-ons to sprinkle a little extra magic into your experience.
Not your traditional wedding flat lay. Before your wedding, I’ll collect your details and create a completely custom scene inspired by your day. Think moss, fruit, florals, fabric, vintage treasures, unexpected textures, and whatever strange little things we can dream up.
