Your checkpoint on the creative journey!
I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a kid. Never in my wildest dreams did I think my little lime green Kodak point-and-shoot would kick off this crazy, joy-filled journey.
I officially started my biz in 2018, went full time in 2020, and have spent the last 7 years figuring out what it really takes to build a thriving photography career. From traveling the world to capture love stories to pulling together my own styled shoots — every step has led me here. Now, I’m launching mentorships, content days, and retreats so I can pour everything I’ve learned back into photographers like you. This job has given me some of the best moments of my life, and I’m here to help you chase that same rush.
Waypoint is your space to grow, feel confident, and create magic. I’m here to spill all my industry knowledge, walk with you through the messy parts, and help you step into the badass photographer I know you already are.

Details and booking coming soon!!
We’ll hang out for the day and cover it all — from backend systems to editing. Then we’ll put it into practice IRL with a styled shoot! You’ll not only get to see me in action, but you’ll also have the chance to run the show yourself while I take photos of you working. Full days give you the full look behind my curtain, and I cannot wait to pour all my knowledge into you.
