about
THE ARTIST
With over 19 years of experience photographing people (which is basically my entire adult life), to say that I live and breathe photography would be an understatement. I cannot imagine doing anything else. It's who I am and my true passion in life.

All my life I’ve loved taking photographs. And I thank my parents for giving me my first camera as a kid and letting me take roll after roll of film. Through this creative freedom I developed such a love for the art of photography in its entirety. Portraits, landscapes, candids, they all excite me. Each is a way of capturing a moment, a memory, a look that will never happen again. This is the reason I love photography so much. It gives one the ability to share moments in time at any moment in time. Photographs are timeless, vivid representations of memories.
I would love to share my love of photography with you by capturing your life’s special moments. Our lives are ever changing and the people in them are growing and changing everyday. Your wedding is a special event in your life and you don’t want to forget all the details and excitement that surrounded the day. Your children seems to grow over night and getting those candid moments and funny faces on film are the only way to ensure your memories of those early days don’t fade. Family portraits are also a great way to preserve the ever changing stages and share your pride as a family.
For whatever occasion or moment in your life, I’d like to help capture it for you through photography. It is my pleasure to be behind the camera lens as your life unfolds.

I BELIEVE
We are all beautiful in our own way. And the way we connect with others is even more beautiful. My passion is capturing the connection we have with our world and the people most important to us.

From happy hour laughs 🍸 to forever kind of love 💍
So dang honored to capture these two amazing humans — both bartenders at one of my favorite spots, Cliff’s Dive Bar & Grill. 💫
A little sneak peek from their engagement session that has my heart. 🥹❤️

Over a decade of photographing this beautiful family — and every year just gets better. 💛
These two are total pros by now (mom says photo day is her favorite day of the year 🥹).
Shot around my New Bohemia studio — my favorite neighborhood for mixing up looks and backdrops! So grateful for families like this who return year after year. ❤️
Late night edits in my happy place. ✨
Cozy lights, my pup snoring by the fireplace, good tunes, and a whole lotta gratitude for this space I get to create in.
This studio truly has my heart. 💜
Nice little article about my business in today’s Gazette. 😊😊😊

Two small corrections:
My dad was a photographer in the US Navy long before I was born, but he wanted to share his love of photography with his children and so let all seven of us have film cameras. He would develop roll after roll of film for us, no matter what we took photos of - our toys, each other, the floor. 😆 So grateful for his gift of that creative freedom.
And I acquired my first studio space in 2009 in the Guaranty Bank Building before moving to my current space in The Cherry Building in 2017.
From family sessions over the years to now photographing Hannah’s senior portraits… time really does fly! And I’m OBSESSED with these pics! We had such a fun time in the studio, wandering New Bohemia, and finishing out in nature. Her personality shines through in every frame, and I feel so honored to capture this milestone for her family. 💕 I still have some openings this fall for seniors - if you haven’t scheduled yet, now’s the time!

Smiles, stinker faces, cake crumbs, and one big personality - Cirilla’s first year session had it all. 🎂✨ Can’t believe I’ve been photographing this sweet family since before “mom + dad” were even married!
Mosquitoes: 1, Us: 0 😂 But honestly, nothing could take away from how sweet this family session turned out. Golden light, a pup in the mix, and Theo’s six-month magic - perfection. 🌿
One whole year with sweet Leah ✨ From newborn snuggles to her big ONE - what a joy it’s been to capture her story. 💕 #oneyearmilestone
