The gal behind the camera

Photographer, Traveler & Soul Sister

I work to keep my client relationships authentic and real. I aim to find you with you big ole genuine joyful smile. I want every single photo I take of you to feel warm, comfortable and REAL.

I’m your friend the moment we meet, whether you like it or not. I’m fully on your team and want my photos to meet any and all goals you have for our session, even if the goal is to just get one good picture of the family. I got you!

A few fun facts :
Travel is my passion. You’ll find me taking solo trips around the US and spending weeks at a time in Tanzania, Africa visiting my sisters. Africa? Yes! You can see what the heck that’s about in my blogs.

I completed my first solo canoe trip through The Boundary Waters in summer 2023. During this trip I saw life in full color for the first time! … More on that below

Ah, yes. The rumors are true, I’m partially color blind. I didn’t realize until my mid 20s and only recently wanted to see in full color. Enchroma heard about the solo canoe trip I was planning and they sent me a pair of free glasses to take with me on my travels! It was a wild ride.

Thank you guys so much for all you have done to make our day very special.
