About Aubrey

For over a decade, I honed my storytelling skills as a wedding photographer, learning how to spot meaning in fleeting moments and real human connection. Alongside that work, I spent more than ten years in the world of stock photography, carving out a name for myself teaching modern visual language to photographers around the world.

My photography lives at the intersection of storytelling and intuition. I welcome difficult light and use it as a creative tool, shaping images that feel dynamic, layered, and alive. As an observer, I use my lens to highlight personality, nuance, and the quiet connections that often go unnoticed.

I’ve taught hundreds of photographers both online and on stages worldwide, with features and speaking engagements through organizations like The Financial Diet and Click Away Conference. My work has appeared in publications including Vogue, Parenting, Real Simple, Food & Wine, and more.

Today, I bring that depth of experience into lifestyle sessions that feel intentional, energetic, and deeply human.
