I started my journey with photography in 2012, but it was when I became a mother myself that I truly learned to appreciate the moments of motherhood and family and wanted to document those moments for others.

Motherhood is hard. But it is also beautiful, joyful, and a gift from God that deserves to be documented. I aim to be able to do that for mothers while delivering a curated and intentional experience in the process and providing them with a tangible legacy that can be passed down among their families for years to come.

This guy. My husband of 12 years, Andrew. He's the most incredible father.  An expert cook, cyclist and my biggest encourager of my dreams.
