Twelve years ago, I took a leap of faith and officially launched my photography business. What began as a creative outlet, capturing high school seniors filled with excitement and couples glowing on their wedding day, quickly grew into something much deeper.

While I truly enjoyed photographing seniors and weddings, it wasn’t long before I discovered where my heart belonged: maternity and newborn photography.

There’s something incredibly sacred about documenting the beginning of a family’s journey. Once I photographed my first few newborns, I was hooked. That’s when I knew this was more than just a job for me.

From there, I dove headfirst into education, learning from talented mentors about newborn safety and proper posing techniques. I wanted to offer not only beautiful images, but a safe, soothing, and professional experience for every family that trusted me.

Three years ago, I moved into my current studio space, and it’s here that I’ve truly flourished. This space has allowed me to grow creatively, refine my style, and most importantly, serve so many wonderful families.

One of the greatest joys of this journey is watching my clients’ families grow. Many first came to me as expectant parents, and now I’ve had the honor of photographing their children year after year and even welcoming their second or third baby into the studio.

These lasting relationships are the heart of what I do. Your trust and support have made the past 12 years possible, and I am so grateful.

Thank you for being part of this journey. I can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds!
