a bit about me
I truly believe that in order to capture the deep connection between you and your beloved, that we need to be connected as well! Being in front of the camera can feel awkward and even more so if the person on the other side of the camera is practically a stranger!
However, when it’s your friend on the other side, you’ll not only have an easier time being yourself, but you’ll have way more fun too. So let's be friends! ;)
Let's form a connection!
but let’s cut to the chase, lemme tell you why i'm different
1. I feel DEEPLY for tv show characters. If someone dies, you’ll most definitely find me SOBBING. I'm 100% serious. Don't even get me started on the grieving process when I finish a series...
2. I loooove dancing! Put on a good song (aka any Swift song) and I cannot help myself from moving!!
3. Everything I do stems from my faith and love for God. When humans or institutions fail, He never does and that’s what keeps me going.
4. I LOVE traveling, exploring, and adventuring. Live in another state or want to meet up in a country you haven’t been to before? I. Am. So. There!!
5. Between following waaaay too many DIY accounts and watching my dad be a construction/handy superman growing up, I am fully convinced I can renovate our 1900 house into a home. When I'm not holding my camera, I'm most likely researching ideas for the next project or getting my hands dirty in our current one!
some fun facts we could bond over:
If you're looking for a photographer who simply shows up, tells you to smile, and sends you the pictures a few weeks later then that's not me. In fact, we will not be a good fit and that's ok! There is someone out there for you.
However, if you're interested in someone who TRULY cares about YOU and your STORY, then you found your girl! I fully believe that your story has value and that it is worth knowing, capturing, and remembering for years to come. I am not just here to "take nice pictures." I'm here to care for you, serve you, carry out your vision, and bring it to life. But don't worry, you will most definitely also receive some dang good pictures! ;)
I'm not just your average photographer

My partner and I scheduled our first ever shoot with Paula and absolutely loved the experience! She walked us through the whole process ahead of time and captured all the natural moments. She was kind, patient, prepared, and timely throughout the process. We were able to see right away how genuine her energy was and how much she truly cares about her work! If we ever felt awkward in front of the camera, she would ease our worries, advise us with posing, or just be the hype woman we needed! We are so lucky to have had her capture our special proposal and could not recommend her more!!!
