Creativity has always been part of who I am. Even before photography became my passion, I had a desire to create and craft beauty. When I became a mother, I was drawn to photography, realizing how tender and fleeting the moments with my own children were. My husband and I have lived in four different states since becoming parents. We’ve seen so much of this country’s natural beauty, embracing the crazy adventure that comes with military moves. Denali, Badlands National Park, Resurrection Bay, the Grand Canyon, PNW tide pools, redwoods, and Yellowstone have been a few of the highlights, but truly we’re just happy to park our camper somewhere and watch our children explore. There is beauty and so much heart in all of our moments together. When it comes to photographing our family, I know the importance of quality in both the process and in the final artworks. It's an honor every, single time someone hires me to photograph their family, because I know that I'm preserving a chapter their family's journey.
