Before he passed, my grandfather was a talented photographer. I’ll never forget the way he intentionally crafted each shot, taking great care to perfectly capture a moment. He filled our family albums and taught me that while you can’t turn back time, you can freeze it.

So, while I never intended to become a photographer, working as a wedding planner and marketing coordinator while welcoming a little one into the world made it so very clear how much every moment matters. I picked up a camera myself because I wanted to preserve my daughter’s every smile, every giggle, every step. Then, my sister asked me to take her senior photos. Then, a dear friend asked me to take her maternity photos. And before long, I’d stumbled sideways into building a thriving photography business that extended far beyond friends and family. 

My husband and I are about to celebrate our 12th wedding anniversary, and we’ve been blessed to raise the funniest, cleverest, biggest-hearted 9-year-old there ever was! Together, we love to travel (our hot spots are Hawaii and Disney World), visit the nieces and nephews, or hike with our golden doodle, Billy. I’m an avid reader (any Emily Henry fans out there?), dedicated journaler, and certified crime junkie. I mean, I can never get enough crime podcasts! But I have a soft side, too! I’m totally counting down the days until the third season of Bridgerton. 

I’m also a massive fan of sports. F1 Racing is something I schedule in my day each race week. I also love MLB Baseball, college football, even golf! I love it all. But not quite as much as I love pickles. They are honestly the best food in the universe, and all my other favorite foods are just vehicles for pickles. 

As a solopreneur, wife, and mom to a bustling 9-year-old, life can get a little hectic at times. But as someone who’s always been a fan of living life to the absolute fullest, there’s nothing better in the whole world. I can’t wait to share more of myself with you as we begin working together. Let’s talk soon!
