Meet the Artist
Looking back at your childhood, have you ever wondered which memories you remember genuinely from the experience itself, or because you have a photo of it?
AWARD WINNING photographer and EDUCATOR.
I started to realize so many of my childhood memories exist in my mind because I have a photo of it, neatly and lovingly placed in a photo album, tucked behind a plastic covering. That same album that I’ve pulled out to tell my kids what their mom was like when I was a kid, and that I was somehow simultaneously cool and nerdy. We laugh at the clothes that are now popular again, and cherish seeing homes and smiles from the great-grands they never got to meet.
My work is about preserving the changing seasons of life, celebrating the here and now, and showing you that your everyday life is truly extraordinary.
If the big moments in our life only account for less than 5% of our time on earth; graduations, engagements, weddings, pregnancies: My heart longs to encourage people to see that capturing the other 95% of their life is utterly worthy of being documented. Those fleeting, everyday interactions morning routines, family dinners, evening walks are the moments you’ll look back on and cherish the most.
A quick peek at the heartbeat behind the business
More Than a Job
It’s My Joy
If you’ve made it this far, you probably get that I’m all about honest moments. But here’s the deeper why, the things that keep me lugging cameras, wiping pool water off housings, and tearing up during chemo-bell rings.
Real beats perfect.
Give me crooked crowns and pancake batter any day, real life beats Pinterest poses.
Cameras as empathy machines.
Documentary photos remind us that every family is weathering something and celebrating something, often in the same hour.
Kids deserve proof.
One day they’ll want to see you in the frame, freckles, laugh lines, slightly tired eyes included.
Stories build bridges.
Whether it’s a birth room or a brand launch, authentic images make people feel rather than scroll.
Time’s a trickster.
It moves faster than any of us realize; photography is my way of slowing it down.
