The woman behind the business

Founder and owner of The HEA Collective, I’m passionate about all things weddings and celebrating love stories.

It brings me so much joy and gratitude to do what I love—making my clients feel beautiful through both hair artistry and photography. My favorite moments are the unscripted ones: capturing raw, in-the-moment emotion that radiates love in every image. Creativity has always been at the heart of who I am, from writing and editing to perfecting hairstyles and photography, and I feel so lucky to turn my passion into a career.

When I’m not chasing my entrepreneurial dreams, you can find me unwinding with my 10-year-old black lab mix, enjoying a cozy movie night, or spending time with my favorite people. Based in North Carolina, I’m always excited to travel and serve clients along the East Coast and beyond.

What Does the “HEA” Collective Mean?

My partner once called me her “happily ever after” and pointed out the magic of fate in my initials, HEA—Happily Ever After. And just like that, The HEA Collective was born.

My business is a celebration of love and weddings, fueled by my heart and soul.

  • I began my journey in 2020 as a bridal hair artist and over the years, my business and craft grew to photography and calligraphy.

  • Cinematic and documentary inspired photography - I love capturing the moments between the moment with prompts instead of poses that allow my couples to be their authentic selves. Movement, intentional blur, and texture tell stories in the seconds that are captured within each image – cherished forever.

    Elevated and effortlessly chic hairstyles are my specialty. I hold an affinity for all styles and love the magic of curating your dream wedding look.

  • My business embodies my love for love and my love for creativity.

    Being able to be a part of someone’s wedding or big moments, is a privilege I don’t take lightly.
