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.

Back from the beach . . .

I love the beach.  Let’s just dwell on that for a sec. . . . the sound of the ocean, the blue and green water, the sand under my feet, the sun . . . This was our first time going to Panama City, Florida.  The water is so clear!  Our condo was on the...

just a little while longer . . .

I shot these at the park in the small town where I grew up and where my children are now growing up. These horse swings have been here since I was a kid. I used to love swinging on them . . . it was easy to imagine I was riding a real horse. My...

a wedding . . .

This is my cousin and her new hubby!  I always find it a treat to photograph the wedding of one of my good friends or relatives because it means I get to spend a lot of time with them on their big day.  Courtney and Will were so easy to photograph.  Their love for each...
