about me

I have loved taking photos for as long as I can remember. I spent weekends when I was a kid having makovers and photo shoots with my best friend. I took photos of my toys. I took photos of my pets and kids I babysat. I took photos of completely random things. My dad loves photography too, so I guess I probably got a lot of that from him! Then in 2000, when I was 19 and just didn't know what I wanted to do with my life, I took a photography class at a community college. That's when I fell in love with the art of photography. I learned how to take photos with manual exposure and manual focus and how to develop the film and print in a darkroom. I wouldn't trade that experience for the world! It was like magic, just putting a plain piece of paper in the developer bath and watching the image appear. I've switched to digital since then, so now I work in photoshop instead of a darkroom, but it still feels magical to me. 


Since then, I've had 4 awesome kids, and although my love of photography didn't start when I became a mom, as it does for so many, being a mom changes the way I see everything. Fleeting moments and little details seem so much more important and beautiful now.



 My goal as a photographer is not to just take pretty pictures, it's to create images that capture emotion and personality. If you want a photo to show what your child looks like, anyone with a camera can do that. If you want photos that show who your child is, call me. In 10 years, the photos that really show your child's personality are the ones you will cherish, I promise!
