I am always excited to work with new customers! As soon as I hear from a new customer, we go over the details of the session - the location, the date, the outfits, the pricing and anything else that may come up in conversation. I answer any questions the customer may have about what to expect.

My journey as a family photographer began with the birth of my daughter, 13 years ago. I wanted to have pictures of her growing up and didn’t want to forget the details of her life. I wanted her to be able to look back and know that she was a treasured child in our family. About 10 years ago, I upgraded to a professional camera and have taken thousands of photos since! When my son was born, 4 years ago, I kept up with my hobby. Shortly after his first birthday, I did a 365 project with a group of photographers around the world. In this project, I took a photo every day for a year and shared them with the group. It really helped me become better at taking candid shots and become more comfortable with all the technical aspects of photography. I really loved capturing the ordinary and special moments in the life of our family during my 365 project, and still do! That same year I also took a class, called "Everyday Beauty". I took this class at the perfect time, because I really wanted to find beauty in everyday life while doing my 365 project. In the class, my instructor assigned daily projects and a final project. Everyone in the class posted photos to share with each other, and our instructor individually critiqued our work. This class really helped me see my photos in a different way. It helped me improve on the technical aspects of composition and light in my photos.

I chose to be a family photographer because I relate to family life so well. I am living it and see the beauty in the simple things. I love capturing the connections and love within a family. A hug, a kiss or laughter shared between people stir up beautiful emotions that are wonderful to see in a photo. Seeing these beautiful connections reminds us of the good and love in a family, that can sometimes be hard to see in the grind of every day life. I especially enjoy taking photos of children. I have always had a heart for children. I see something special in every child. As a young girl, I was the one following around the littlest ones at family functions. I babysat since I was old enough, and studied child development and family studies in college. I feel I can easily interact with children and make them feel comfortable. If a child isn't comfortable with me at first, I let them take their time and play with me until they feel at ease.

I have worked mostly with families and children doing variety of sessions: Family Individual Children Maternity Birth Newborn Birthday Parties Birthday Photos Anniversary Celebrations

I would recommend finding someone who is willing to go the extra mile to provide you not just with great photos, but with a great experience. If you are enjoying yourself and comfortable, it will show in the photos. Find someone you feel you can connect easily with and that has the same goals as you for the outcome of your photos. I would also recommend asking the photographer if they have back up gear. Cameras and lenses break, and it would be too bad to cancel your session last minute if your photographer does not have back up.
