Hello
I’m onika
I’m a wedding photographer who loves capturing all the small moments in life.
My passion for photography began long before I held my first camera. I've always been fascinated by the power of imagery to capture emotions, preserve moments, and narrate stories that transcend time.
With every click of the shutter, I aim to freeze not just smiles or laughter but the feelings behind them—the joy, the love, the tender moments you'll cherish forever. For me, photography isn't just a profession; it's an art—a way to encapsulate the beauty of life's fleeting moments.
MY STORY
I wasn’t always a photographer, but I always knew I wanted to connect with people.
For as long as I can remember, photography has been a part of me—not just a passion, but a calling. As a kid, the moment I got my first camera, I was hooked. I photographed everything in sight: the light streaming through the bedroom window, quiet smiles between family members, even the messy, beautiful chaos of everyday life. I didn’t always know it would become my career, but I’ve always known I was meant to see the world a little differently.
In early 2024, I took a leap and turned that lifelong love into a business. I’ve always been drawn to the in-between moments—the ones that feel fleeting but mean everything. A glance, a laugh, a hand reaching out. That’s where the magic lives, and that’s what I aim to capture.
My path is rooted in care, in presence, and in witnessing life’s most intimate moments—which is why I’m also becoming a nurse in the birth center. Supporting new life as both a caregiver and a storyteller is the deepest honor I can imagine. Whether I’m behind the camera or at the bedside, I’m all in—with heart, compassion, and intention.
Beyond the camera, I’m married to my high school sweetheart, Tristen. He’s my biggest supporter and the calm to my creative chaos. We share our home with Ceaser, our endlessly energetic German Shorthaired Pointer/Chesapeake Retriever mix, who keeps us on our toes and our hearts full.
I’m also a sister, an aunt, and proudly my mama’s daughter. Family means everything to me, and I bring that same sense of closeness and care into every session I photograph.
Whether you’re celebrating a love story, a growing family, or simply want to bottle up this chapter of life, I’m here to help you tell it—honestly, beautifully, and with heart.
Let’s capture the small moments that turn into big memories. Let’s tell your story, together.
