Welcome to my Blog!

Stress free, fun, happy, colorful, casual are all things that describe a session with me.

I have always loved art and enjoyed creating things. It makes me happy . . . puts a skip in my step. My interest in photography started in high school, but really expanded once I had children. I now have 3 little ones of my own (that's us on the left), and I feel compelled to document their unique characteristics and personality traits with the camera. I like to capture moments, looks, glances, smiles, belly laughs, the beauty within them . . . everything about them I want to remember. My goal is to capture real moments and interactions. It is no different when I am at a session. I want to capture all of these things for you too.

People have described me as creative and passionate. I put both of these qualities to work in every session. I want you to love your images as much as I do. 

I also enjoy getting to know people and listening to their stories. That's why photography is such a good match for me. It brings my creative passion together with my love for people. I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story as I document your unique characteristics with my camera.

bowling in black and white

With the exception of the last shot, all of these were taken as black and white images in camera.  A little contrast added in editing and they were done.  It was my niece’s first time bowling.  That’s her in the first shot right before her first bowl.  It was fun to watch her.  She’s a...

Seeing my youngest on the right cracks me up!  And look at my adorable little boy.  They are growing so fast. This made me smile.  Maybe it will make you smile too.
