My Story

My love for photography blossomed while documenting the growth and milestones of my children. In all honesty, it was the first Lifetouch package my son brought home from school that reminded me of an early 90’s photoshoot gone wrong. Soon after, I purchased my first big girl camera.

So there I was, nice camera and a head full of ideas, but zero concept of reality. I thought being a photographer meant other people would see my pictures and hire me. I thought it was easy. My camera collected more dust than jpeg’s and I resigned myself to the idea of “one day” I’ll make it work.

Eventually “one day” came and I realized my talent was turning people watching into story telling, through photography. Photography has the power to freeze a fleeting moment. It allows us to revisit our core memories and recall the very same emotions you thought were forgotten. And in some cases the emotions you wish were! Life is really one long story full of laughter, tears, love, and loss. Someone needs to illustrate those stories, authentically. As it turns out, people seem to like my stories and perspective, and for that I am truly humbled.

Motherhood has significantly influenced my photography, giving me a profound appreciation for the intricate bonds within families. I understand and admire the relationship between a mother and her family and aim to capture the genuine love, chaos, and beauty that illustrates each unique story. Although I do not limit myself to specific projects or clients, I would say that women are the centerpiece of my focus. The complexity and simplicity of a woman is fascinating to me (and still an unsolved mystery to men). This is not to say I don’t value men! I consider men and women to be teammates in life and whether romantic or plutonic, we need each other.

If I’ve learned anything over the years it’s that the photography industry is saturated. Good photography though, is another story. As a small business owner, I value honesty and service above all else. I am committed to building genuine connections with each client. I want to photograph your stories. The stories unique to you but that tie us all together.

I want to show others the beauty of God’s creations by capturing the essence of His grace and love in the face of those I photograph.
