I’m the storyteller, the dreamer, the one who sees love in its rawest, most beautiful form. Elk & Fir has earned awards and glowing reviews, but what truly matters? The way my couples feel when they see their photos—transported back to the laughter, the quiet touches, the magic of it all.
This is more than photography—it’s about letting you fully live in the moment, without worrying about the camera. My approach is natural, unforced, and completely you, with just a touch of guidance when needed. The magic? That’s already there—I’m just here to capture it.
