About the Photographer
I can be a bit of an introvert, but I love comedy and humor and really come out of my shell when I can laugh. I became a photographer after a life long admiration for photography. My home was always full of photo albums and magazines like W and Time. I found imagery to be a powerful tool to to preserve moments and to communicate to the future.
I have a deep love for literature, education, art and cinema. I often stay inspired by incorporating all of these interests into my work. Nothing inspires my work more than my faith. The gospel encourages, equips and informs me. The love God has shown me allows moves me to pour love into the things I do. I spend my days with my family exploring, reading, praying, bickering, laughing and more. I'm a wife and a mother, my two very favorite roles in this life. We travel together, we pray, we bicker, we plant gardens, we dream, we read, and we play.
My great grandmother, grandmother, and mother all loved photography. I grew up surrounded by photographs, and I never outgrew or forgot that; I leaned into it.

Words that inspire me.......
I spend my days as a stay at home mom. I take care of our little ones and our many pets. We love to travel, bake, learn, dance and read together. They inspire my work so much. When I stand behind the lens and I see people who love each other engage, embrace- gaze at one another, I identify with those emotions because I live them too.

I love to schedule portrait sessions a little after sunrise or a little before sunset. These hours of the day allow for the sweetest light & warm glow to your images. When planning a wedding I help my couples plan around the light.
Naturally lit spaces are the most flattering & timeless.

My dream is to one day go to Africa and spend a few months traveling the continent, and taking as many photos as possible. I also hope to go to Europe and Japan and do the same. I have traveled to many states and three countries & I look forward to more adventures when things open up again! I am also available for international and destination weddings, when travel restrictions ease.

A little bit about my love story...
romantic stories
I met my husband in 2009 through our churches. We quickly became friends. I thought he was very intelligent & funny, and I immediately liked how he always kept it real with me. His wit & honesty drew me to him. One day I casually invited him out to attend a lecture I was going to, that was being given by Elie Wiesel. He kindly informed me that he couldn't make it. I had no idea that he actually had feelings for me then. He'd later tell me how frustrated he had been that he had to miss our non-date, but at the same time, thrilled that I had opened that door by inviting him out. So he in turn invited me out to go see a play. From the moment he picked me up I kept noticing new things about him that I hadn't before, how handsome he was, how nice he smelled, how comfortable & happy I felt whenever he was around. By the end of the night I knew I liked him. It was that fast.
