Meet the Photographer
Behind the lens

How i got started:

It all started with a wall gallery, camera & a baby.

After we sold our townhouse, moved into our forever home and adopted our newborn son; I asked Vini if I could take a photography course and buy a camera.  He said, YES! I want to learn how to take those cute first year photos of Lucas. That's where started.  

The belly laughs- There’s nothing more contagious than a child’s giggle. I live for those unguarded, joy-filled moments.


Things I love most about photographing family sessions:

The playful connection – From games in the field to snuggles on a blanket, I love capturing the magic that unfolds when families simply enjoy each other.


Golden hour glow – That soft, dreamy light at sunset wraps every moment in warmth and wonder—it’s my favorite time to photograph.


The tears of joy – When parents see their family beautifully framed on the wall and feel the emotion of their story captured forever—that’s why I do what I do.
