Twenty years ago, I built a photography business around the life I wanted to create.

I wanted to be home with my children while also building a career doing something I loved. When I started my business in 2005 (how has it been over 20 years?!), I wanted to create photographs that helped people remember what mattered - the joy of childhood, the beauty of family, and the moments that seem ordinary until years later, when they become priceless.

Over the next two decades, I photographed hundreds of families, weddings, businesses, and growing children. Looking back, I can see that what I loved most was never just making beautiful photographs. It was creating something people would treasure long after the moment had passed.

As my own children grew up and became more independent, I found myself in a new season of life. For the first time in many years, I had the space to ask different questions - not just about my work, but about myself.

What kind of artist do I want to be?

What kind of life do I want to create now?

What feels the most honest?

Around that same time, I discovered underwater portraiture. Looking back, I don't think the water changed my work. I think it revealed what I had been searching for all along.

The water became my greatest teacher. Every day the spring is different. The light shifts. Fish appear and disappear. Sunlight dances through the water in new ways. Nothing is ever perfectly controlled, and yet it's endlessly beautiful.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped chasing perfection - not just in my photographs, but maybe in myself, too.

I started trusting my instincts more. I started creating from a place that felt freer, quieter, and more like me.

Recently, I rebuilt my website. What I thought would be a simple refresh became something much bigger. It became a chance to reflect on the past twenty years - and the artist I'm still becoming.

You'll still find commissioned portraits, families, children, and underwater sessions. But you'll also find more of my fine art, more of my story, and a clearer reflection of the work I hope to create in this next chapter.

I'd love for you to take a look. There are still a few things I'm putting the finishing touches on (including a print shop coming soon!), but it finally feels like a place that reflects who I am and the work I hope to keep creating.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether I've photographed your family, your children, your business, or you've simply followed along over the years, I'm so grateful you're here.

I had the pleasure of photographing this French beauty while she was visiting the US! Despite a slight language barrier, we were easily able to communicate and I love these bright images we took together!

Still kind of processing this one…
I had the chance to be on Daytime on News Channel 8 & it felt really special. Not because of being on TV, but because I got to talk about something that means so much to me.

This work is so much deeper than photos. It’s about women feeling strong in their bodies, feeling beautiful in their own way, and not waiting for some “someday” version of themselves to believe it.

I see so many women hold back… picking themselves apart, thinking they need to change first. And I just don’t believe that anymore.

You’re allowed to feel confident now.
You’re allowed to take up space now.
You’re allowed to feel beautiful now.
That’s the heart of everything I do.

Really grateful for the opportunity - and for every woman who has trusted me to step in front of my lens. I am so thankful and always remember - you are beautiful - RIGHT NOW.

Also a huge forever thank you to MMark Naugle for not only the endless support but for this beautiful spring that has become the backdrop for some of my best work!
