Why should you choose me as your photographer?

Because beautiful photographs are only part of what you deserve.

As an Air Force veteran who served as a flight medic, I learned to pay close attention to the details—and details matter.

The sweep of your toddler’s long eyelashes. The tiny wrinkles on your newborn’s feet. The way your child's whole face changes when they really laugh.  The way your spouse looks at you when you're not paying attention.  The dangle of the tassle from your senior's cap.

Those are the moments I'm looking for.

These moments may seem small now, but years from today, they may be the ones you treasure most. It’s my job to notice and preserve them for you.

My experience as a former ER and trauma nurse—and now as a hospice nurse—has given me a deep appreciation for the parts of life we wish we could hold on to. Often, they aren’t just the big milestones. They’re the ordinary, everyday moments: the way your family fits together, the expressions you know by heart, and the love quietly unfolding in between.

My goal is to give you more than a gallery of beautiful images.  I want your session to feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely fun - even if you're convinced your kids won't cooperate, your partner hates having their picture taken, or you have no idea what to do in front of a camera.  That's my job.

When we’re together, you don’t need to know how to pose, have perfectly behaved children, or feel naturally comfortable in front of the camera. I’ll guide you when you need it while leaving room for you to simply be you, genuine connection, playful personalities, and the beautiful unpredictability of real life.  You enjoy the time together and I'll pay attention to all the little moments happening and capture them.

From your family’s everyday moments to its biggest milestones, I’m here to capture what this season truly feels like—so that years from now, you can return to the people, details, and love that made it yours.  When you look back I don't want you to simply remember what your family looked like, I want your photographs to remind you what this season of your life felt like.

Real moments.  Beautiful light.  Memories that are completely yours.
