Welcome!

My life is a journey which includes a wonderful husband & three little people, ages 3, 5, and 7. I have always loved capturing memories with my camera. I picked up a class in college to learn the basics, but it wasn't until after I had my first daughter that I really started shooting every day. The photo on the left is from the shoot that opened my eyes to capturing babies on film... and I was hooked. After working as an elementary school teacher, I switched gears to photography. I have been dedicated to learning all about it by attending workshops, classes, and shooting as much as I can. Life is hectic but I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't get through my day without chocolate, and at least one good laugh, usually provided by one of my children. My style could be described as candid, playful, sometimes detailed, and always natural. I utilize whatever natural light I can find and shoot mostly outdoors. I enjoy shooting portraits of children and families in a natural setting while they are doing something they enjoy. My main focus is to make people feel comfortable and allow them to go about their day while I capture precious moments they can enjoy for many years.

Albums

Posted on May 7, 2012

These are examples of one the albums I just completed for a client of mine with a very cute little girl! I can’t stress enough how much I love these albums. They are amazing quality and I really enjoy being able to create a custom display for someone. I am so thrilled with how they come out every time, that I want to make one for myself! Then life gets in the way. I have a goal set that I need to complete at least one album a year. I really hope I can stick to it, because the last place my photos should be is stored on my computer somewhere. With albums on your shelves, they are accessible, tangible, and organized. When is the last time you made an album with your images?

Spring Baby

Posted on April 22, 2012

After two adorable boys, this family was blessed with their beautiful baby girl. Mom came prepared with all the ruffles and flowers, and she was such a good sport through all of the changing and clicking!

Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

Posted on April 22, 2012

Meet my nephew, Landon, who already owns another piece of our hearts. A beautiful gift from above to love and squeeze! He was such a good boy for his first set of portraits.

You don’t raise heroes; you raise sons. And if you treat them like sons, they’ll turn out to be heroes, even if it’s just in your own eyes. ~ Walter Schirra Sr.
