I love photography and everything that photography is meant to be. All of the smiles and the pouty faces,  the love and memories, and all of the personal things that make a photograph unique. 

I have been taking pictures for about 7 years and I love all types of photography, but my passion has to be storytelling pictures. For me, there is no other type of photo that can totally freeze time like a lifestyle or documentary image. I love capturing moments in time that families can look back on for years to come, like a mom rocking her newborn to sleep in the nursery, or a child playing with their favorite toy. To me, the perfect pictures are sometimes the ones that might seem the most imperfect. 

When I'm not capturing your memories, I am trying to soak up as many memories with my family as I can. I have two boys, and although it is very cliché, they are growing up right before my eyes. I love following them around with my camera and rediscovering things that are so special and magical to children. It makes me feel like a kid again! I, also, have a 2 fur babies who are the best to snuggle with! Last but not least, I have the world's greatest husband! He has supported me through my entire journey in photography and continues to do so with as much enthusiasm as I have! We both contribute so much to our family, but I also let him take care of me too <3 He's my very best friend, and I love doing life with him by my side. 

 And CRAFTING! How can I forget about crafting?! I love crafting anything and everything, mostly things for my house. I am determined to turn my house into a reveal house from fixer upper, but that doesn't come cheap. I thought if I DIY everything then it won't cost as much---I was sorely mistaken on that matter! So it's coming along slowly but surely. My husband is an amazing handyman as well, so it's a hobby we love doing together, just like Chip and Jo, right?! 

I can’t wait to hear from you and learn more about your family! Let’s start capturing the moments that make your family unique and special!
