Connection
Photography is rooted in creating visual representations of a story– your story. The more we share of ourselves, the more we are reminded of our shared humanity. Empathy is the foundation of stepping into each other’s worlds– & that’s where our connection starts.
Creating intentional, cinematic, and true to life imagery to turn your love into art (more than it already is). Your story is already unfolding; I’m just here to help you see it.

Here to Tell Your Story
Hi! I'm Addi
Storytelling has been a part of us since the beginning of time. I’m not just here to be your photographer– I’m here to turn your love into art that will be passed on from generation to generation.
Lover of all things books, matcha, travelling, deep conversations, ordinary joys, and people. More than just a full time photographer & artist, I have fully leaned into the miraculous act of being a full time person. “As we are creative beings, our lives become a work of art.” – Julia Cameron.

documenting the details of every adventure
A place where the ordinary & mundane become cherished instead of overlooked. Details matter. Small everyday moments are what make up the majority of our lives. My artistic approach invites you to celebrate your connection in places where your soul feels grounded– whether that’s from the coasts of the carolinas to california, the mountains in the west, backpacking through breathtaking landscapes, at a coffee shop in new york city, or just simply in the comfort of your own home. I’ll be there. Documenting the journey is where the magic lives. It’s so much more than just photography :)

“She made space for us to simply be ourselves, guiding gently while letting our truest moments unfold. The way she sees the world through her lens feels like a quiet kind of magic.”
“I searched through countless photographers, hoping to find someone whose work made me feel something real. Then I found Addi. Her photographs instantly stirred something in me, and I knew she was meant to tell our family’s story. When we met, her presence was calm and kind. She made space for us to simply be ourselves, guiding gently while letting our truest moments unfold. The way she sees the world through her lens feels like a quiet kind of magic. Light, color, movement, emotion. She weaves it all together so effortlessly. The images she created for us are more than photographs. They are captured memories of a sweet time in our lives that we will treasure forever.

“Thank you, Addi, for giving us memories we’re still obsessed with even a year later!
“Do yourself a favor and book Addi asap! I was so happy when I found her on Instagram and even more excited when I realized she’d be in SoCal. Working with her for our engagement photoshoot was an absolute blast. She answered every question I had and even made a Pinterest board with inspo ideas because I had no clue what to wear for the shoot. When we met, Addi told us exactly where to go and had already scoped out the cutest photo spots. She gave us direction the whole time but still let us be ourselves and do what felt natural. I honestly had no idea how the photos were going to turn out—and oh my gosh, I was blown away. I loved them so much that I still look at them to this day. I even printed them all and used them as our wedding guestbook so everyone could see them! We’ve gotten so many compliments on our photos, and it’s all thanks to Addi. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone and everyone. Thank you, Addi, for giving us memories we’re still obsessed with even a year later!

“I wanted to bottle up the way life felt at the time - slow, meaningful, cozy, with the smell of coffee and breakfast on the stove.”
“I dreamt of freezing time for a moment in our little A-frame house, after celebrating five years married. I wanted to bottle up the way life felt at the time - slow, meaningful, cozy, with the smell of coffee and breakfast on the stove. Addi captured every bit of that and more! These photos are some of the most precious memories - simple and even mundane routines of walking our dog in the backyard, steaming some milk for coffee, tickling the piano in the front room. I’m so grateful to Addi and for her unique gift of documenting such a beautiful life!”
