The birth of my son was the real push I needed to turn my talent into a business. I wanted to leave something behind that he could be proud of, something that would outlive me and celebrate the creativity that runs in our family. My photography journey began long before adulthood. At about 12 years old, I discovered the magic of a camera through my aunt’s Kodak. What started as curious exploration quickly became a creative outlet and a way to see the world through a different lens. My first photo is a small, quiet moment I still remember: I placed lilies into a bird bath, created a rainy scene around them, and captured the delicate interplay of water, petals, and rain. It was improvised, earnest, and intentionally artistic. That single moment—watching light, texture, and mood come together—made me realize what a camera could do: it could freeze emotion, craft atmosphere, and tell a story without saying a word. From there, photography became more than a hobby; it evolved into a language I could use to express love, family, and everyday beauty. The birth of my son wasn’t just a catalyst for pursuing photography as a career; it was the moment I decided to build something meaningful around that gift—something I could share with him, celebrate with him, and be proud of every day. Today, I bring a mom-led perspective, a partner’s collaborative spirit, and a dispatcher’s calm-under-pressure to every session, ensuring you feel seen, supported, and at ease as we craft images that reflect your unique journey—whether you’re documenting milestones, celebrating your growing family, or capturing the intimate moments that define your everyday life.
