"The true object of all human life is play."
- G.K. Chesterton
I’m a wife, mom, bonus mom, and my family’s personal memory keeper (Want proof? Just ask my iphone storage - it’s busting at the seams!) I’ve always had a passion for photography dating back to when I was 5 (take a peek at my first film camera from the 90s- yes, it was Barbie).
My first job in high school was taking sports photos for a local newspaper. I graduated college with a business degree and entered the corporate finance world. While working a traditional 9-5, my husband had a camera he bought to take pictures of his daughter as a toddler, but it had been collecting dust for a number of years. I picked it up and began taking photos of family and then friends. It reignited that spark within me! Soon, word of mouth spread and I found myself capturing memories for friends of friends.
I have since left the corporate world and am now living my dream as a full-time mom and full-time photographer. I am thankful to past, present, and future clients for trusting me to capture your memories and do the work that I love.

My approach is calm, go-with-the-flow, and connection-first. I’ll guide you gently, but I’m not here for perfection. I believe the in-between, candid moments are the most important ones. Because when you’re looking back at your photos months or years down the road, those raw, real moments are the ones that transport you back to that exact moment in time. So, whether it's a backyard snuggle session with your family, a ‘just because’ solo shoot, or saying your vows with your closest people by your side. I’m here to document your story — the messy, the magical, and everything in between.
