Sharing adventure with them every chance I get!

Family first has always been my motto. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom—my dream job—I spent over a decade as a school social worker. But once Lucas started preschool, the thought of being away 40+ hours a week no longer felt right. After years of hearing, “You should be a family photographer,” I finally listened—trading my school badge for a camera. Now I get to prioritize my family and capture the joy in yours.

Backpacking,
Hiking, & all Things
 adventure

Backpacking is one of my favorite ways to reconnect—with nature, with my husband, and with God. There’s something deeply satisfying about carrying everything I need on my back, climbing a mountain, and setting up camp under the stars. I crave the quiet solitude, the soul-refreshing peace, and the awe-inspiring beauty of God’s creation that surrounds me on the trail. Some of our best conversations happen while hiking, and nothing beats ending the day with s’mores, hot cocoa, and the warm crackle of a campfire. It fills my lungs, quiets my mind, and restores my spirit.

we're a perfect fit!

How i got started:

It all started with a camera and 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.
