I am a wife and have been married for 8 years, and we have two children, a boy and a girl. When I’m not behind the lens, you can find me with a coffee in hand, probably listening to a true crime podcast or getting lost in a good book—because every mom needs a little escape now and then! I’m also a huge fan of outdoor adventures, whether it’s hiking through the woods or traveling to and exploring new places.
But above all, my greatest joy comes from the Lord and spending time with my family. They are the most precious gift and one I waited a long time for; they are a huge part of why I do and love photography. I believe that God has blessed me with them in ways I never want to take for granted.
After having my son, I became increasingly aware of time and how fleeting it is. I wanted to hold onto those memories of the newborn stage, then the stage where their personality starts to shine through, then when they start to walk and explore their world. It's why we moms have thousands of photos on our phone. Because we want to remember. Because our memories do fade with time, but if we look at a photo, it can take us right back to that moment and that feeling. I want to give that to you, but with YOU in the photos too. Because these photos aren't just for you; they're for your children to hold onto the memories they have with you one day.
I believe God has blessed me with this gift and passion to serve my own family and others. It's why I take this seriously and strive to make sure that you are well cared for. I pray for every session that I can serve you and love you like Christ, and that I will tell your family's story well. I pray to Him for His protection over your pregnancy, delivery, the baby, and your family.
It’s never just a photoshoot to me – it’s about the legacy and the life you’re building together as a family. It’s about building a genuine connection and creating memories that will be treasured for generations.
