When you forget the camera's even there, the photos that come out of it are the ones that actually matter. My whole approach starts with staying out of your way. During your photo session, wedding or event, I'm minimally directing; I'm building a space comfortable enough that the real version of you shows up on its own, unplanned, in almost every frame.


With me, there's no performing for the camera. You don't have to hold a look, fake a laugh, or worry about your angle. However your day actually unfolds is the day I'll document, and you and the people you love get to be met with real attention, not a script.

More About Me

[She/Her/They]


 I'm a traveling documentary event & wedding photographer with a splash of Editorial currently based around Atlanta, covering many Georgian cities. I have also photographed events in New York, California, South Caroline and many other states.


I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid — my first one was a plastic Barbie camera, if that tells you anything. My dad's the reason it stuck: he was always filming, always snapping Polaroids, always documenting our vacations and our everyday life.


The actual "start" happened almost by accident. I was in LA, tagging along on a friend's trip and messing around with a rented professional camera I barely knew how to use, when a stranger in the Hollywood Hills asked if I was a professional photographer. I said yes before I could think twice, and that same night I was shooting his girlfriend's birthday in a dark restaurant with zero idea how to edit. I bought my own camera the second I got home and never looked back.


I've landed exactly where I want to be — families, milestones, and small, intimate weddings, the kind where I can actually get close to what's happening instead of running a big production.

“The camera gave me an incredible freedom. It gave me the ability to parade through the world and look at people and things very, very closely”

“Tobia did a fantastic job with our surprise engagement shoot. We loved taking photos with her, and she did a great job behind the camera. She was also a great communicator and easy to work with!”
