Behind the Lens


I am a momma to three beautiful human babies and three fur babies. I am Mimi to 1 human baby and 4 fur babies. I love Star Wars, the color red, listening to music made in the 90s, and documentaries.

My Story


I've been a photographer since 2012, and although my name and technique has changed since then, my passion hasn't! I would love to work with you! My mission is to capture your story. Let's put all the love, joy, chaos, and even tears in front of the lens and create a beautiful gallery that you can 𝕗𝕖𝕖𝕝. I am a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography, although I believe that my education will never be "finished." I also have a degree in Business Administration, although by the time I graduated with that one, photography had begun to take up most of my time.


I started my photography journey on the sideline of the football field, taking action shots under the Friday night lights. The parents of the players took notice and I got my first paid job photographing a wedding. From there, I photographed a lot of high school seniors, but soon realized that I really wanted to shift my focus to newborn and child portraiture. I did my first newborn session in 2013 and although it was tough and didn't go as I'd hoped, I was head-over-heels in love! I began to educate myself; I watched every posing tutorial I could find on YouTube. Finally, in 2017, I began to see vast improvements in my work and I found the confidence to call myself a newborn photographer!


Now I work out of a cozy little studio in my backyard. Babies and toddlers in the studio are my favorites. There isn't a lot of room in there for family sessions, but I'm always happy to try to honor requests for a family shot in the studio.


I'm not a cold weather gal, but I do love capturing sweet family sessions outdoors where your kids can run, play, and really have FUN during our session. My style is photojournalistic, which simply means that I'm more of a real life story teller, as opposed to a perfect poser. However, I don't typically schedule outdoor sessions after Thanksgiving until after Easter, unless the weather is just unseasonably warm.
