Who I am, What I do, and Why I love it!

I live my life like I am looking through a lens; everything is a photograph to me! Photography is always evolving and changing. There are new things to learn. And I love everything about it! This is more than just a job or a way to support my family. It is my passion and a huge part of my life.


Photographs tells a story.



They freeze-frame these precious moments
in our lives so that we may keep them close to us. Taking pictures of births and newborns is something I am so in love with. Capturing the moment these little babies come into the world is absolutely breath taking. Photographs are the only way we have to stop time. I get to help my clients keep those tiny toes, feet, fingers, eyelashes, and noses forever; that's my favorite part.



My clients are the best part of what I do. I love working with them and building a friendship! I love that they have entrusted me with their memories. I get to watch their children grow up through my photos; like I am a part of their family in some special way. I love sharing their photos with them, seeing their reactions, and falling in love with them like I have while working on their albums. I walk through their homes and see these moments on their walls; all of that is so priceless to me!

I grew up in a small town. Seriously so small that you could blink and miss
the entire town. That is kind of how life is. If you blink you could miss the whole thing! I'm a Momma of four beautiful and handsome children. It's the biggest,fastest, scariest roller coaster in the entire world! It's a blast but terrifying at the same time. I love watching my little bitty babies grow from being completely dependent on me to self sufficient people. It's also heartbreaking to watch them fall down and make mistakes. My children are my life. I would do anything just to see them smile and make them happy. Being a Mom is giving up everything you thought was important and experiencing everything you didn't know existed. Being a Mom I understand how much you want to freeze and capture those special times with your little ones before you blink and they are off on their own. I think that is why I love getting to photograph newborns! So precious and so little but I understand that it won't be for long.

Weddings and senior portraits are also a part of your journey and your life. I love shooting weddings and getting to share the couples special day! Getting to meet and photograph the parents, families, and friends is so much fun. Behind the lens I get to see these two lives and families become one and it is so beautiful to witness. Senior portraits happen after the parents have blinked. They blinked and their babies were all grown up. It's so much fun getting to photograph these awesome young adults and talk to their proud parents. I can relate to them so well.



I am so blessed to have an amazing family and a job that is my passion. I'm even more blessed to be a part of your life while capturing your precious, fleeting moments. And this is me. This is what I do, why I do it, and why I love it. I hope that this blog will help you get to know me better. It will help you see how I work, who I am as a person and professional, and give you a look at my work!
