About the Photographer


I’m a mother to three wonderful children; three amazing little loves who are the light of my world. I am also married to a man who is the calm to my storm.

In addition to dress up, potty training, and PJ dance parties, we enjoy “smellows” on the fire and bike rides to the park. I may not be the perfect mom, the best housekeeper, or the most Pinterest savvy, but I love my job as a mommy.

Of course, photography is another one of my greatest passions. My love is newborn photos. There’s just something so lovable about a sweet newborn baby. It took me 10 years to become a mom and I cherish each time I get to capture that moment for another mama.

Children and photography aside, my husband and I also love diving into a good Christian fiction book while traveling. It helps the trip go by faster. We’re particularly fond of suspenseful novels, especially a good mystery.

Speaking of reading, I’m going to stop talking about myself and let you flip through the remaining pages of this site. If you have any other questions or want to learn more, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d love to talk with you!
