WhyI love WHAT I DO
My heart beats for capturing the connections that make your family yours.
For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of documenting not just the big milestones, but also the quiet, everyday moments that often end up meaning the most. I believe real beauty is found in authenticity—muddy feet, giggly hugs, windblown hair, and the way your kids look at you when they feel safe in your arms.
Photography is more than a job for me—it’s a calling. I believe the Lord has given me this gift to serve others, to honor Him, and to love people well. Every time I pick up my camera, my prayer is that the images we create will not only preserve memories but also reflect the goodness, joy, and grace He has written into your family’s story.
​​
I’m not about stiff poses or everyone staring at the camera at the same time. Instead, I want to create timeless, artful images that feel like you—images that tell your story in a way that will matter even more 10, 20, 50 years from now.
If you’re looking for photos that go beyond “picture-perfect” to truly reflect the love, joy, and sacredness of this season in your life, I’d be honored to be the one behind the lens.

MY STORY
Ever since I was a little girl, art and photography have been a part of who I am. I knew early on that I wanted creativity woven into my life in a meaningful way. I went on to graduate from FAU with a BFA in painting and art education—all while getting married and starting a family.
As our babies came along, painting and drawing became harder to keep up with in the busy seasons of motherhood, but my heart still craved creating. That’s when I picked up my camera. What started as documenting our growing family and the beauty of our everyday life quickly became something more—an outlet for my creativity and a way to preserve the fleeting, sacred moments I never wanted to forget.
We eventually moved to East Tennessee, and as our family grew, so did my love for photographing them.
What began as a way to capture our own everyday moments soon caught the attention of friends, who started asking me to photograph their families too.
I never imagined photography would one day become “my dream job,” but God knew the desires of my heart. He gave me this gift not only as a creative outlet, but also as a way to serve others—showing families just how beautiful they are when they’re loving each other. That’s what fills me with joy every time I pick up my camera.
MAY THIS BE THE beginning
OF A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP
