~Hello~

Life is beautiful and so are you! I specialize in senior portraits, engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn, milestone, and family photos. That is why I am a lifestyle photographer. I love taking these precious moments and making them tangible for you.

My style is whimsical, bright & airy, modern, natural, and candid. I like to tell stories through the moments I capture. I would love to capture yours! 

Have a fun photo session idea? I'd love to hear it!
