​

I'm a full time mama to four kiddos.  What does that mean for you? It means I'm comfortable in the chaos that comes with family and small children, even (especially?) those with special needs. My kids are becoming teenagers, and I'm learning how to earn the eye roll that comes with a smile. I know how to earn a person's trust. I've mastered the skill of patiently waiting, waiting, waiting for the moment, and I have grace for the people who need a little bit of extra time.

​

I am passionate about capturing authentic images. Your family's unique dynamic is what I really want to capture. I pride myself on knowing which smiles are fake and being able to elicit natural ones. I also think I have a particular gift for photographing people who don't want to be photographed.
Wild toddler? Been there, willing to chase after them/get on the ground.

Grouchy dad? I got you.
Irritated teen? I am here for that.
Reluctant older person? I get it.

 

People often comment that they love the energy I bring to a shoot. I choose to photograph people because I think it's FUN! and that energy is contagious.
 

My kids are getting older, but they need me just as much. Because of this, I only offer a handful of sessions each week and my calendar fills up quickly!

​
