I’m a Chicago-based photographer residing in Grayslake, IL with professional experience in the wedding industry since 2014. I aim to bring you the best moments of your life captured in the moment and saved for your enjoyment for the rest of your life. Besides behind a camera, you can usually find me at a craft brewery (I’ve bartended for 4+ years!) or adventuring around Chicago & beyond with my partner, Zachary. My favorite setting to get work done is a coffee shop, which is typically where I meet my clients to go over details!

Our story begins in 2019. I have always had a love for art. A love for things that make you feel good when you see them. During our year of quarantine and chaos, I found a love for charcuterie. A love for creating beauty and happiness. Something everyone can enjoy. “Olive” creating these boards and I love sharing them with you.

Capturing authentic moments for clients is the driving force in everything I do. That drive and passion are what wedding & portrait photography should always be about! My clients choose me because they trust that I'll tell their story in an honest way, jam-packed and full of life, joy, and fun!

Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.
