Photography has been part of my story for as long as I can remember. Some of my favorite childhood memories are flipping through family albums filled with photos I took when I was just four years old.

Fast forward thirty-something years (and a few detours along the way), and that childhood dream has grown into a business I truly love.

I’m married to my best friend—my husband Gary. People often say we’re “like peas and carrots,” and honestly… they’re not wrong. We do just about everything together, including this business. You’ll often see him at sessions helping with lighting, carrying props, or even shooting alongside me.

Gary is a retired Air Force veteran after 20 years of service, and while he misses it, I’ve made sure to keep him busy—building custom props, helping with studio projects, and bringing all of my creative ideas to life. I truly couldn’t do this without him.

Opening my studio has been another dream come true. It’s been a labor of love, and it allows me to create beautiful, customized sessions for every client who walks through the door.

I specialize in capturing life’s everyday, meaningful moments—from maternity and newborns to seniors and families. My sessions are relaxed, fun, and centered around connection. Some of my favorite images are the in-between moments—the laughter, the quiet snuggles, the real emotion that happens naturally.

Whether we’re in the studio, outdoors at one of my favorite locations, or somewhere special to you, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel genuine and timeless.

Outside of photography, I’m an animal lover through and through. Our home is full of personality with four cats, the sweetest three-legged dog, and a very spoiled (and very silly) Rottweiler. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me hiking, antiquing, gardening, or spending time with my family.

I can’t wait to meet you and capture your story.
