The photos you'll treasure most aren't always the perfectly posed ones. 🤍

I stepped in front of my own camera with my babies, with the help of a wonderful assistant.
If I'm being honest, I've hated having my picture taken for years because of my own self-confidence. But looking through these images reminded me of something so important...
My children won't remember the things I criticize about myself. They'll remember that I was there. They'll have these photos to look back on someday.
And yes... there were tears. Lots of them. 😂 Toddler meltdowns, running in every direction, and moments where I thought, "Well, this session is a disaster." But when I looked through the gallery, those "imperfect" moments became some of my absolute favorites.
Because that's real life.
The cuddles between the tears. The giggles after the meltdowns. The tiny hands reaching for mom. Those are the moments worth remembering.
As a photographer, my goal isn't just to capture perfect smiles. It's to capture your story exactly as it is. I want every mom to feel beautiful enough to step in front of the camera, because years from now your children won't be looking for perfection—they'll be looking for you.
So here's your reminder: Don't wait until you lose the weight, feel more confident, or think it's the "right time." Get in the picture. Your babies will cherish these memories forever. 🤍

✨ Senior Session Sneak Peek ✨
I couldn't wait to share a few favorites from my little cousin's senior session! 🤍
She has been in front of my camera since the very beginning—back when I was in college earning my photography degree. From class assignments, practicing new techniques, to now capturing her senior portraits; it's been so special watching us both grow over the past 12 years!
Seeing her get ready to start her senior year while looking back at all the memories we've shared together is such a full-circle moment. I'm so thankful to have been apart of this milestones in her life!
I can't wait to finish and share the rest of her gorgeous gallery! Congratulations on your senior year! 🎓📸

There is no greater compliment than having families trust you to capture their memories time and time again. 💕
Three years ago, I had the honor of photographing this sweet family's son as a newborn. Last week, they returned with their beautiful baby girl, and getting to document this next chapter of their story was so special. Watching families grow is one of my favorite parts of what I do.
Here's a little sneak peek of their precious gallery. Welcome to the world, sweet girl!

After taking a full year away from photography, I'm so happy to finally say... I'm back. ❤️

The past two years have been incredibly challenging. From battling 2 rounds of postpartum depression, causing me to lose interest in so many of the things I loved, to challenges with severe flare-ups from an autoimmune disease that sometimes makes it difficult to even walk.

It has been a long journey, but I am greatful to have found my passion for photography again. While I'm easing back in, I'll be accepting weekend sessions as I continue to manage my health.

My primary focus will be:
🤍 Newborns
🎂 Milestone Portraits
🎓 Senior Sessions

I will be offering a limited number of small family sessions, engagements, and elopements as well.

I'm also excited to share that I've launched a brand-new website and online client galleries to make your experience even better!

Thank you to everyone who has supported, encouraged, and patiently waited for my return. Your kindness has meant the world to me, and I can't wait to capture your special moments again. Stay tuned for a sneak peek at the two precious newborns who helped mark the beginning of this new chapter and reminded me why I fell in love with photography in the first place. 🤍

✨ My books are officially open! Message me to reserve your session.

Limited sessions will also be available in Ohio when I travel!

Your children will never be this little again. A family photography session captures the love, laughter and connections - preserving memories you'll treasure long after the toys are gone and the tiny hands have grown.
