I’ve always been drawn to light ... the kind that spills across open fields, shines through old trees, or warms the weathered walls of places filled with history.
My work is rooted in the country. Im inspired by winding back roads, quiet historic towns, vintage charm, and the beauty found in the changing seasons.
I photograph the way a storyteller writes, the way a painter studies light, and the way a musician feels rhythm. My camera is simply the instrument I use to translate those moments into something lasting.
Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a singer or a theater girl. I loved the idea of performing and creating. But I also loved when a camera appeared. The goofy photos my parents took and the little recordings of my personality shining through. A camera, much like music, felt like freedom.
I’ve always felt most at home outdoors. I love the summer sun on my face, golden fields at dusk, the calm sound of rain on the roof. Nature has its own rhythm, and so do the moments worth remembering.
But motherhood changed everything.
When my daughter was born, the desire to document life grew stronger than ever. Suddenly every little moment felt fleeting, and I found myself wondering how to hold onto them. How do I bottle the feeling of a season of life before it slips away!?
Motherhood helped me find a new passion and a need to create in a different way.
Now I create photographs that preserve more than a moment...they hold the feeling of it. So years from now, when you look back, you won’t just see the memory… you’ll feel it.
Hi!! Im Ty (:
I intentionally keep my calendar small each year, accepting only 12–14 weddings annually — typically just one or two per month.
Motherhood is the most important role in my life, and the time I spend rooted at home with my little one is something I hold sacred. Because of that, I’m very intentional about the work I take on and the time I dedicate to each gallery.
This slower pace allows me to give every story the care it deserves. I never want to rush through your memories. Each gallery is thoughtfully curated so the moments, emotions, and small details of your day are preserved in a way that truly lasts.
Alongside weddings, I also take about 3-6 lifestyle sessions per month to keep my schedule balanced and manageable.
Most weddings book 9–13 months in advance, and lifestyle sessions typically book 2–3 months out, so planning ahead is always encouraged.
If you feel drawn to my work, don’t wait too long. My calendar tends to fill quickly. 💕

Editing is where my creativity truly comes alive.
No two galleries are ever the same.... and that’s very intentional. Every story holds different emotions, different light, and different moments worth highlighting. Some days are filled with quiet candids, others with bold celebration. Your gallery should reflect that.
While every collection shares the heart of my style, I allow the story of the day to guide the final look.
I’m drawn to the feeling of film-inspired tones, romantic greens, deep emotional sunsets, and soft, whimsical whites. Some moments call for brightness, others for softness and quiet tones. Occasionally a frame feels strongest in black and white, or with a touch of intentional grain that adds depth and nostalgia.
My goal is to create a gallery that feels honest, timeless, and uniquely yours — while still holding the signature roots of my editing style.
I hope my clients trust me with that creative space, because it’s where the magic truly happens. 💛
