I'm a hoarder of memories, and a visual storyteller. And so, I started my photography business to give other people the gift of documenting their lives in a beautiful way.
lover of insanely hot showers, spicy pickles, early mornings, kids who sleep in, and country music.
Whatever place you’re in and whatever point you’re at. You’re here…it’s yours….claim it. I believe this because I live it daily; my life isn’t picture perfect, but it’s still flipping amazing and it deserves to be immortalized as a visual diary of sorts.
I’m an extremely driven, organized creative person, which isn’t always the norm in this industry. But, this is like gold for you because it means that I’ll show up on time (I get heart palpitations when I’m late), respond to emails, follow up when needed, do what I say AND get your photos back to you quickly. Flighty is not a word that will show up on my tombstone!
This gig is my full time job, but when I’m not looking through a viewfinder, editing images, answering emails or writing blog posts, I can usually be found joking around with my husband and trying to wrangle 2 little spitfires who call me Mama.

I worry that I'm screwing up my children every single day, but I also know that I'm a really good mom - sometimes that's a weird space to be in. Raising girls who love princesses, unicorns, and Barbie, while also trying to make them independent, strong, and fierce is not an easy task.

I loathe fluff and pretence, and will go out of my way to avoid fake anything (trees, strawberry flavour, sugar, people).

I believe spontaneous beauty can appear anywhere you decide it can.

I want to live in a world where human beings truly connect with other human beings.

I believe kitchen dance parties and a generous pour of pinot noir can solve a lot of the day’s problems.

I know I’m damn good at my job and I also know I can make your life look like gallery-worthy art, because it is - I promise - you just can’t see it yet, but I can.

You’re a little bit terrified that you’re going to mess this whole parenting thing up (don’t worry, you are definitely not alone in that fear!), but I know you aren’t going to. Because you’re just that type of person...the one who digs in and will do the hard work it takes to make it work.
Your phone (which is close by most of the time) is jam-packed with photos of your loved ones, but email, podcasts, and screenshots of quick recipes you nabbed off Instagram are also represented well.
You try so frigging hard, and yet, it sometimes feels like you can’t do it all; that someone is always losing. You’re not afraid to admit that you don’t want that ‘someone’ to be your family. You were there for them and they deserve to see it.
be it grad school, running a marathon, picking the perfect grey paint colour, or raising a kid.

You need a photographer who understands your life and can find the absolute beauty in your limited quiet moments at home.
You need someone to make the process easy, simple and efficient.
You need someone who will win over your kids and your spouse and won’t leave you all staring at each other in awkward silence not knowing what to do next.
You need someone who can see the magical moments, but who at the same time, will make sure you don’t have a double chin. I can do that for you.
let us make the process easy, simple and efficient.
