My Story—
MY GOAL IS FOR YOU TO DO MORE THAN JUST SEE YOUR PHOTOS. I WANT YOU TO FEEL THEM. HEAR THEM. HEAR THE LAUGHTER, FEEL THE CONNECTION, AND LET YOUR PHOTOS TRANSPORT YOU TO THAT VERY MOMENT FROM HERE ON OUT. LET IT REPRESENT YOUR REAL LIFE, AND HOLD ONTO IT.
IT'S MORE THAN JUST ABOUT THE PHOTOS. IT'S ABOUT THE MEMORIES.
It's not about picking up a camera, snapping some images, and then sending them your way with a bill. I show up to document this season of YOUR life, and I'm inspired by YOUR stories. You aren't even ready for me to lose my shit when I capture that PERFECT moment, and then pour my heart into each image when preparing your gallery.
My friend, I am not asking you to show up as your best self. I am not asking that you look picture perfect. I am asking that you to show up as you, and know that you are worthy of this moment in life and it's absolutely precious and priceless. So let's capture it.
I aim to capture every wrinkled nose, every smile line, and every intimate moment during our session; from the way your spouse looks at you to the moment your little one throws their head back with laughter when something is really, really (and I mean REALLY) funny. I want to get to know you and the people you love the most, and deliver memories of where you are in life right now – because well, I give a damn.
I'm here for the real stuff.
To me, photography isn't just about the photos.
I picked up my camera and started shooting in 2017
It was originally just to document my own phase of life as we were struggling through Recruiting Duty in the Marine Corps. My poor husband was missing so much of our boys' lives, and so many little things were passing by day by day – it wasn't his fault at all, but I knew it was affecting our lives so I vowed to just try. Try for him, try for me, and try for my babies.
It started with just photos of my boys. Then taking photos for friends, because they saw my growing passion for capturing memories. Then this.
Holy shit, this wonderful life and this wonderful career.
I may have unintentionally fell into this career, but truthfully, I never feel more myself than I do with my babies by my side and a camera in my hand.

My Life—
“You’re peoples personal time capsule, that’s as close to a super power as you can get”.
I am a mother.
A wife.
A lover of memories.
Above all; I am a friend.
