Read a bit more about me below, and thanks for stopping by!
MAMA TO THREE LITTLE ONES
I’m a mama to two sweet boys and a little lady, and they are truly my whole world. I’ve always dreamed of becoming a mom, and I feel so incredibly lucky to be living the life I’ve always wanted—getting to know and raise the most wonderful little souls.
MARRIED TO MY BEST FRIEND
We met my senior year of college and have been inseparable ever since. It’s always been us, and I absolutely cherish the family we’ve created together. That’s why I make a point to capture a few photos of just mom and dad during your session—because your love is what started it all.
A FEW OF MY FAVORITES
A few of my favorite things to do around town include strolling along the canal, grabbing a fresh loaf of salty bread or a vanilla chai, and shopping in Schoen Place. I’d love to meet you soon and hear about some of your favorite things, too!
WHY PHOTOGRAPHY?
People often ask me how I got into photography, and it’s a story that goes way back. As a kid, creativity was in my bones. I was always drawing, painting, and taking every art class I could. From pencils to oil paints, I explored all kinds of mediums, and my love for creativity spilled into other areas of life—whether it was party planning, home renovations, or decorating.
I pursued my passion for art in college, focusing on painting with a minor in graphic design. After graduating, I spent five years working in marketing, but my creative side felt a little dormant (sorry, mom, no painting since college!). Then, everything changed when I was expecting my first baby. I asked my husband for a “nice” camera so I could capture the precious moments with our new little one.
That’s when my love for photography really took off. What started as a way to document our growing family turned into a passion. I began taking photos for friends, and before I knew it, word spread. I loved meeting new people and being a part of their lives, even if just for a few hours, capturing their stories in a way that felt both meaningful and fun.
Now, I’m lucky enough to do this every day—capturing moments that are as real and beautiful as the people in them.

There’s nothing that brings me more joy than seeing your photos printed and displayed on your walls or nestled in albums on your shelves. I’ll always say it: print your photos!
What is a lifestyle photographer?
CAPTURING THE BEAUTY IN LIFE'S SIMPLEST MOMENTS
As a lifestyle family photographer, my passion is capturing the in-between moments—the silly giggles, running feet, quick kisses, shy smiles, and toothy grins. While I ensure we capture a few classic, posed photos with everyone looking, my heart is in the candid shots. These natural moments truly showcase each personality and the unique love your family shares.
TIME PASSES FAR TOO QUICKLY; LET'S SLOW DOWN AND CREATE MAGIC
Time passes so quickly, and little ones grow up in the blink of an eye. That’s why I’m here—to help you pause time and capture images that bring you right back to those precious moments. Whether you’re celebrating a growing family with maternity photos, welcoming your first little one, or documenting the love of your entire family, I’m ready with my camera to tell your story. My focus is on you—capturing raw emotions, sharing laughter, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
With over seven years of experience, I strive to make your photoshoot a stress-free and enjoyable experience. I’ll guide and prompt you throughout the session while also leaving room for you to relax and have fun with your loved ones. This balance ensures we capture the genuine emotions and connections that make your family unique. Delivering tangible treasures in the form of photographs is my greatest joy, giving you memories to cherish and revisit for years to come.
