Mist Photography

Photography became personal to me through loss and the reminder that life is fleeting. After losing two of my best friends in high school, photos became more than images. They became memories I deeply treasure. I’ve been a self-made photographer since 2019, and in 2020 I spent a year in Atlanta second shooting luxury weddings, refining my craft and style. I later moved back home to Salem, IL to be close to family and now proudly serve the Southern Illinois and St. Louis areas, capturing meaningful moments with intention, joy, and heart.

What sets me apart is the heart I bring into every wedding and the way I pay attention to the moments that pass too quickly. My style is true-to-color, timeless, and film-inspired, mixing editorial, guided portraits with real, candid moments. I’m watching for the hug with grandma, your dad’s quiet tears, the laughter happening off to the side. I want your photos to feel like your day actually felt and for you to leave your experience with Mist feeling taken care of, understood, and so glad you trusted me.
