With a background in business, sales, and marketing, I had the foundation to build a thriving elopement photography brand, host epic content days, and help fellow photographers elevate their craft—all while keeping up with real life.
I’ve always believed that running a creative business shouldn’t mean sacrificing your sanity, your time, or your love for what you do.

I didn’t start out as an expert. In fact, I’m completely self-taught—from camera basics to editing, from booking dream clients to crafting a seamless workflow.
I became an elopement photographer not just because I love taking photos (which I do), but because I love serving people—giving couples an experience they’ll never forget and creating images that let them relive that feeling forever.
Through styled shoots, I built a portfolio that attracted my dream clients. I created a brand that felt like me—with colors, fonts, and a website flow that spoke directly to my couples. I developed resources that made them feel fully supported—without me physically holding their hand every step of the way. Instead, I designed plug-and-play, automated systems that allowed me to work smarter, not harder, while my couples felt like, holy shit, this girl’s got me.
And guess what? It worked.
I discovered a portfolio, brand, and workflow that gave me real work-life balance.
(Okay, let’s be real—it still gets messy, but at least now it’s intentional.)
But something’s missing.
The Road to Basecamp
- How do I actually build a brand that stands out?
- How do I attract my dream clients?
- How do I create a workflow that doesn’t leave me drowning in emails?
So, I created Basecamp Creative as a real resource hub—where every single tool, guide, and workflow is something I use in my own business and know works when put into action.
The truth is..
Helping you craft a brand, workflow, and client experience that lets you book dream clients without the burnout.
where strategy meets adventure
I'm not here to sell you fluff. Everything I offer, I’ve built and tested in my own business. These aren’t just tools—they’re the exact systems that allow me to thrive as an elopement photographer and educator.
You?
