I take blurry photos.

And still photos. but i do love to brag about the blurry ones.

Here’s a couple of extra things you should know about me…

I bought my first camera when I was 18, after I dropped out of college to get my first real job. The job didn’t work out, so almost 9 years later, here we are.

I’m a lightly seasoned dog mom.

I’m the crazy aunt.

I’m the oldest of three sisters, but one of 18 grandkids on one side, 18 on another and 14 on the other, and we were one of those close families growing up.

I’m a girl mom with a boy on the way.

My husband was in the military.

I’m just a little bit of an out of the box thinker.

I don’t believe in judging people for their beliefs or personal life choices. You do you, as long as you’re not hurting anyone you’re a-ok in my book.

When I’m not out shooting a session you might find me curled up on the couch with a good book (I’ll take all your romantasy recs, please), out at a lake or beach with my crazy dogs, or spending way too much time “window shopping” with my tiny human at Target, a market or a thrift store.

I’m slowly discovering the joys of being a first time homeowner, keeping the house as clean as possible, trying to figure out how to fund all of my DIY project ideas and contemplating cooking my own goldfish crackers… and everything that goes with those things.

I believe that life is more about the journey than the destination, and there’s something beautiful about every era in life (yes, even the expensive, post-covid, recession era), so I aim to capture those little moments that make up this crazy ride we call life as much as possible.

Why am I telling you all this personal information, you ask?

Because if you’re going to let me tell your story, I think you should trust me to be able to tell mine.

I’m a sucker for romantic moments

My approach to capturing your memories is what I can only describe as romantic. I show up, I get to watch you and your beautiful family play, notice and capture your cute little relationships, and see your gorgeous love stories and my heart just fills with happiness.

I love that you let me be a small part of your special moments.

And since it’s YOUR story and I’m just an observer, I don’t like to intrude on it too much.

I want to be able to capture your most genuine smiles, your most authentic laughter, your kids’ most natural giggles. So I don’t ‘pose you’, tell you to “Cheese” or tell you to put half a hand in your front pocket. I think natural is best, so if it feels natural to steal a kiss, tickle a baby belly, run your hand through your hair… go for it.

To start I’ll give you some ideas for playful movement or activities and then take a step back to let you enjoy your dreamy moments.
