A lifestyle photographer currently based in South Carolina who's been documenting families, couples, and tiny humans since 2014.
If you've heard of the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi - finding beauty within the imperfections - it summarizes how I approach taking pictures. I believe photos should feel real, natural, and meaningful enough that you’ll still love them even years from now. If you want photos that feel like that, you’re in the right place.
"Mimi made us feel so comfortable"
Posing for photos doesn't come naturally for most people, and this was definitely the case for my family - haha! But Mimi made us feel so comfortable from preparing us with outfit/scenery ideas weeks ahead to making us feel in our element on the day of our shoot. I honestly don't remember taking photos because our family had so much fun laughing together.

What working with me is like
I don’t follow one cookie-cutter style because no two families, couples, or seasons of life look the same. The way I shoot and guide during our session is shaped by you and how things actually feel in the moment. I focus on quality over quantity so you walk away with images you’ll genuinely want to keep, print, and come back to.
For over a decade, people have trusted me to document their most important moments. I’ve worked with sleepy newborns, energetic kids, camera-shy partners, brides, and everything in between. I know how to read the room, keep things moving, and still deliver photos you’ll love.
"Completely exceeded our expectations."
We were impressed with her attention to detail, creative eye, and expertise. She helped us get all of our photo jitters out and made us feel so comfortable the entire time - it completely exceeded our expectations and ended up being such a fun experience. Four plus years later, we still have her photos displayed around our home!!

If price is your main deciding favor, I may not be the best fit for you. If you're looking for studio-style posing, I may not be your gal. I'm all about capturing the messy and intimate moments while you're exploring new places and having your slow days at home with your favorite people.
"I was nervous because it was our first photoshoot"
I booked Mimi after a coworker recommended her, but I was nervous because it was our first photoshoot. Our toddler wasn't in the greatest mood either because of the chilly weather, but Mimi still managed to work her magic. She captured all of our personalities so well. I knew immediately which ones I wanted to frame when we got our photos back!
