investment in family history


I create images that do more than document your wedding day. I’m preserving the moments, relationships, and emotions that will become part of your family’s story for generations to come.

One day, your children and grandchildren will look through these photographs and see not only how you looked, but how you loved. They’ll see the laughter, the connections, and the personalities of the people who helped shape your life.

When you invest in my photography, you’re investing in memories, legacy, and the future of your family history.

18 years experience

I guide you.

Making photos fun and natural.


One day, these photographs will mean more than they do right now.

My job is to make sure they’re worth keeping.

Fine art, true-to-life editing with artistic and cinematic influence.

Every image in your gallery is individually hand-edited to bring out depth, emotion, and the natural tones of your day—never batch-filtered, never rushed.


I study light, body language, movement, and emotion in real time so your photographs feel intentional, not accidental.


All my equipment is consistently updated and cared for. Back ups and all.

"If you are seeking a photographer who takes the time to genuinely understand you, consistently captures authentic moments of joy, possesses the ability to uplift anyone's mood, and reminds individuals of their inherent beauty, then look no further. This is the photographer you have been searching for, as she will create exactly what you envision."


-Chandelle



"I cannot say enough about Philomena. From a purely artistic and technical standpoint I love her ability to make the best of any lighting meaning that even if the weather is sub-optimal her photos always turn out vibrant and crisp as if completely unaffected by the ambient light or lack there of. Her photos are simultaneously understated yet alluring, deeply personal and yet unforced and authentically candid."

-Tyson + Maggie



"As a professional photographer myself I am always impressed - if not intimidated - by her skill, her eye, and her supernatural intuition to capture extraordinary moments that would have been passed off as ordinary in the moment."

Lets Work Together!
