From the smiles, to “the look” and belly laughs, every session is unique. my all time favorites are those raw, candid moments, they tell a story, your story.

thanks again for stopping by! My love for photography started in 2012 when I hired a professional photographer to take my daughter’s 1 year pictures. I absolutely loved the experience so much that I eventually bought my first camera, (black Friday special from Target, gotta love a good deal!) When I’m not taking pictures you can find me with the fam, friends or caring for my hospice patients. I have found my passion and truly hope that everyone gets the chance to find theirs because it’s a beautiful thing!
