my mission

BEAUTIFUL REMINDER OF

WHY I DO WHAT I DO
I want to be friends and I mean it!! To me photography is so much more than a transaction and a few emails we exchange before your special day, it is about relationships. I could go on and on and tell you what photography means to me and how I see/frame the world through my lens but at the end of the day this is all about you and your story.
You are the reason I do what I do. Your story, as unique as it is, is the reason I chose to become a photographer. YOU MATTER TO ME !
I am here to help you create memories you will cherish forever. There is such beauty to be found in these raw moments and my goal is to capture them in a way that will let you experience those same emotions every time you look at your photos.


Kind Words
"There aren't enough words to describe how phenomenal of a photographer and human being Thais is! We didn't hire a videographer for our wedding and I truly don't feel like we needed to, because her photos depicted the day we had so incredibly!
