I am unique and my friends say I don't usually see the world the same way most others do. I take that as a compliment :). I don't like to do things just because every one else does them. I am passionate about people, their lives, their stories. Photography is a way that I can show people the beauty they often don't see in themselves. I love to capture moments, mark a milestones, and in that way, celebrate life.

Something I love about small business is when I can support other small businesses!

In the past two weeks, small business owners have helped bring Class of 2026 grad ideas to life especially in the crazy windy days we've had recently

Shout out to Danville Gardens & Silk & Spine for letting us use your spaces for backdrops! :)

I am signing off for the holidays!
Thank you to the almost 100 families, seniors, events and companies that allowed me to capture a moment in time or a milestone in your life in 2025!

I will be out of the photography office from now until New Years to enjoy family time and our own celebrations. I will respond to messages then!

I look forward to all the moments in your lives I will be able to capture in 2026!! Hard to believe it will be my 15th season as a photographer.

From our house to yours Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Don’t forget to get in the photos with your family and kids!! 💕
