Photos are a part of our legacy. They are the things we leave behind that can be passed down for generations to come. No matter the occasion, I want to help tell your story.
BEHIND THE LENS
At home near the mountains. Ever-focused on beauty and the thrilling art of creation; found in the moments that leave me breathless and in awe.
This is why I do what I do. Ever since I was a young girl, I always loved being creative and photographing landscapes. Growing up, I watched my parents run our family-owned Czech restaurant in the suburbs of Chicago. At an early age, I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur just like my parents but I wasn't exactly sure how I would do that. It wasn't until high school where I found a love for portrait photography. Before I knew it, that childhood dream of becoming an entrepreneur one day like my parents become a reality. In 2017, I booked my first wedding and I haven't looked back since.

My APPROACH IS SIMPLY THIS:
There is beauty in everything. In the small moments & the big moments. A big part of being able to photograph a wedding day is being able to lead when it's needed but also let moments happen when they are happening. To create moments & let moments happen, that is how you create something beautiful.

Traveling. It's my number one source of inspiration.
In the mountains, obviously.
