After raising three little ones as a stay-at-home mom, then working 6 years in an elementary school, I decided it was time to turn my love of photography into the business I've always dreamed of. When my children were younger I used to encourage them to find something that they wake up every day excited about doing. Mom took her own advice,and now I am thrilled to do what I am most passionate about. I am going into my 8th year of documenting so many beautiful moments for my clients.  

I have countless pictures of childhood memories, loved ones who are gone, memorable moments and celebrations that I treasure. There are also so many images I wish that I had captured in a photograph. My heart is to serve my clients by creating a relaxed and fun environment for us to create those very photos that they would also hold dear for a lifetime. My goal is to always do so authentically....without feeling like every smile and movement is forced and robotic. I want your session to be fun and you might catch me acting a bit crazy to make that happen. Sessions can quickly become a workout for me and often times the parents of little ones as we try to get the best candid smiles and laughter. Newborns have become my passion over the years. I absolutely love documenting all the tiny details right down to their itty bitty toes so you can remember just how small and sweet they were days after they came into this world. Perhaps I also just love getting the baby snuggles in since my own children are all grown up. 

When I am not behind the camera or editing pictures, I am hunting for props and unique items for newborn photography. I love thrifting and finding fun vintage pieces at flea markets and antique stores. Love a good hike in the woods or a long road trip with good music, windows down and plenty of snacks. Playing the piano is my favorite editing break. My must-haves: creamer and sugar with a little bit of coffee in it, an extra cheesy pizza with lots of good toppings, ice cream, fries and anything spicy. I crave sunshine and warm weather and you might catch me complaining about the winter weather anytime after December 25th.  Spending time with my three adult children gives me life. I always say I love them dearly but it makes me even more happy to say I truly like the beautiful humans they've become.
