WHY FAMILIES
WITH THEIR MEMORIES
I help my clients press the pause button to capture the deep belly laughs, quirky smiles, candid in-between moments and the perfectly imperfect.
Serving mamas like you is what I’m called to do - because trust me, I get it.
As a mom of three, I understand what it’s like when your little social butterfly suddenly gets shy… or when your reserved kiddo wants nothing to do with the camera and would rather bury his head in Dad’s shoulder. I’ve been there, and I photograph through it with patience, play and zero pressure.
And as a Navy wife, I know how important it is to soak up every single minute together, because time is precious and babies don’t keep.
Photography has been part of my life since high school, and I went on to study
Art & Design and Communications at the University of Michigan (go blue!). I’ve been photographing families and seniors professionally since 2019, bringing a calm, joyful approach to sessions and helping parents walk away with images that feel natural, effortless, and truly them.
I make this easy from the start
From location suggestions to outfit guidance and session timing, I walk you through every step so nothing feels confusing or overwhelming.
Your kids get to be kids
There’s no pressure to perform or sit perfectly still. We’ll play, explore, cuddle, wander, and take breaks when needed — because that’s where the genuine moments happen.
You can relax, I've got this
Between years of photographing families and raising three of my own, I’m comfortable working with every age and personality (yes, even the skeptical toddlers and too-cool-for-photos tweens).
My style is bright, joyful & real
Think connection over perfection, laughter over stiff posing, and images that feel natural rather than overly curated.
Images you'll treasure
You’ll have artwork for your walls, heirlooms for your kids, and memories you’ll be grateful you froze in time.
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME
A LITTLE MORE
When I’m not photographing families, you’ll usually find me at the beach with my crew, hosting living-room dance parties, or making a Target run for something I absolutely did not need.
I love turquoise and pale yellow, checking things off lists, and dessert, especially cotton candy, which my husband once had delivered while we were dating and instantly won my heart. That's when I knew he was "the one!"
I’m a mom of three, a Navy wife, and a big believer that the ordinary moments are often the ones worth remembering most.
