I have a gentle approach with both people and pets, and a true appreciation for life’s most meaningful moments. I’m a passionate photographer and proud mom of two wonderful girls, living just outside of Gambier, Ohio. With more than eight years behind the lens as a recreational photographer—and over sixteen years of hands-on experience as a veterinary assistant—I’ve honed an eye for detail, a gent
le approach with both people and pets, and a true appreciation for life’s most meaningful moments. My Journey
I fell in love with photography years ago, when I realized how a single image can transport you back in time—reminding you of laughter, tears of joy, and the warmth of family. At the same time, my career as a vet assistant taught me patience, empathy, and how to keep even the most anxious animal clients calm and comfortable. Combining these two worlds felt natural: I wanted to capture candid, heartfelt photos of families and their furry friends. What I Offer
