I GREW UP IN A SMALL TOWN IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. MY CHILDHOOD CONSISTED OF DRIVING TRACTORS ON MY FAMILY'S FARM, RIDING HORSES, AND SHOWING ANIMALS IN THE LOCAL FAIR.
I LATER ATTENDED THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA-LINCOLN WHERE I MET MY BEST FRIEND (AND NOW HUSBAND) AND HAVE FOLLOWED HIM AROUND THE WORLD AS HE CHASED HIS DREAMS OF BEING A PILOT IN THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE. THIS YEAR WE WELCOMED OUR SON GRANT INTO THE WORLD AND OUR LIFE HAS BECOME BRIGHTER SINCE!
When a couple asks if their dog can be a part of the session.. My answer is always YES! I love including your four legged family members!
Living in Europe was the most amazing experience and being able to photograph couples in quant Italian cities made each session even more special.
My favorite time of the day to photograph families is during golden hour (the last hour of sunlight). It makes images so dreamy! There is nothing better!
Creating images of the people you love most brings me so much joy. Being able to document sweet family memories of your crew making ice cream sundaes together and the looks of pure joy on your children's faces... These are the moments I most love to document.
From 2020-2023, my family was stationed at Aviano Air Base, Italy. This is where we welcomed the arrival of our first baby. Having a child so far away from my family inspired me to document his growth so I could share his sweet smiles across the world. I understand how an image is more than a simple picture, it is a visual representation of your love. It is my greatest honor to capture this tenderness in each of your images.

My goal is always to serve my clients in the most kind, and professional way possible. I strive to help busy young mothers to feel confident and at peace that their family sessions will go off without a hitch.
Because moms are always the ones taking the photos, planning the birthday parties etc, often times we don't have images of ourselves with our families. As a photographer and new mom, my goal is the change that by delivering a beautiful gallery of you interacting with your family, capturing those fleeting and precious moments with your littles.
Your kids are only itty-bitty for a short amount of time. It would be my pleasure to help capture these crazy, unpredictable, and PRICELESS moments for your family.
December... i fall in love with the christmas magic each and every year.
