Relationships

When people step in front of my camera, I take on the role of a director—guiding movement, encouraging snuggles, laughter, hugs, and playful moments that bring your family together. Connections are so important. Even the simplest touch of a hand carries immense meaning. Drawing on my experience as a former elementary art teacher, I come prepared with a plan. But I also embrace spontaneity, capturing the beautiful, authentic moments as they unfold.

Authenticity & Joy

I’m at my most free and playful when I’m behind the camera. That energy helps you feel comfortable being yourself, and encourages families to truly enjoy each other. I love letting kids be kids, allowing them to run a little wild because those moments make for the best photos. Smiles aren’t forced—they’re created. I thrive on capturing movement and the full spectrum of emotions, from joyful laughter to the tender moments, like a tired toddler snuggled with parents at the end of the session.

Beauty

Beyond capturing authentic expressions, I’m led by the beauty of light—whether it’s the soft glow of sunset or the warmth of natural window light. The perfect combination of place and time can make everyone look their absolute best. I love to discover beauty, not just in the surroundings, but in the unique personalities, joyful moments, and genuine connections of my clients. Every smile, every laugh, every shared glance tells a story, and it’s those moments I love to capture, illuminated by the perfect light.
