Welcome!

I’m so grateful you’re here, and your interest in my work means the world to me. My journey to photography began during my college days at Seattle Pacific University - where simple sessions, such portraits of my friends and their loved ones, fed my artistic heart. Fueled by a deep love for storytelling, I realized that every moment holds a narrative waiting to be told, and I felt compelled to document the beauty of life’s fleeting moments. Each photograph is a chapter in a larger story, connecting people, emotions, and experiences. This drive to capture the ephemeral nature of life stems from the belief that these moments, no matter how small, contribute to the rich tapestry of our existence. In a world that moves so quickly, I find joy in freezing time through my lens, allowing people to relive their cherished memories and emotions long after the moment has passed.

What started with one family session quickly expanded into senior portraits and a thriving clientele built on heartfelt referrals. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of being featured in Forbes and People Magazine for my event photography. Now, I focus on capturing beautiful couples in intimate weddings throughout the United States.

I’m excited to continue this journey, connecting with incredible people and creating lasting memories through my lens. Thank you for being part of my story!

It was such a blessing to have Turkan photograph our wedding. She did it late notice and totally blew us away. I don't know how she was able to be in so many places at once, but she captured every moment; candid shots of my husband and I, guests, etc. She was amazing at directing and posing us in front of beautiful backdrops as well. She was professional and fun to work with, and was quick to get our pictures back.We were so happy with her work that we couldn't imagine anyone better to take our maternity photos a year later. She is an amazing photographer and really submerges herself into the event and takes pride in her work. She is so easy to work with; I would recommend her for any event.
