Happy post-Valentine's, friends! I’m excited to get some new faces on the calendar. Whether it’s a milestone or "just because," let’s make some memories together!

Message me to book!

​THE CHALLENGE: I’m feeling extra sweet today, so I’m giving away a 25% discount to anyone who can solve my custom Wordle.

To my local friends, my clients, and the neighbors I haven’t met yet...

​I’ve been a little quiet lately because life has been a whirlwind! I’m so humbled to share that I was named a Top 3 Photographer for Allegany County and landed the January cover of Allegany Magazine. My heart is so full, but I know that I wouldn't be here without your support.

​I also know that times are tough right now. In my book, "doing without" shouldn't apply to memories of your kiddos. So, for all the kids on the crick (and the surrounding areas!), I’m offering a "Thank You" special at my studio in Coney:

Pre-​K–11th Grade: $100

​The Deal: Simple backdrop, 10+ photos, and print rights.

​Nothing fancy—just good pictures of your favorite people. I’m just happy to be able to give back to the place that has given me so much.

​Message me to grab a spot! 📸

Looking back at my lens of 2025... what can I say? It was a total cabaret. High energy, incredible connections, and major milestones made it a year I’ll never forget.
​To those who have supported me and jSmileyShots Photography—thank you for being part of the magic.
Let’s make 2026 even more legendary! Love you all! Happy New Year!
