I grew up in the northwest corner of Vermont in a very tiny town on the Canadian border. I left the country life for college in Rhode Island to pursue a degree in Dance/Performance. After I graduated I moved out west to Seattle to pursue a dance career, then on to Arizona where I met my husband. Over the next 15 years the two of us bounced from Seattle, to my home state of Vermont, and finally finding ourselves back where we started together in his home state of Arizona…while along the way having 3 kiddos and our first dog.

My babies were my first foray into the world of photography. They were willing, albeit captive, models for me to practice on. I loved snapping pics of everything from the details of their tiny toes, to landscapes of baking in the kitchen, to creative yearly growth portraits that hang on my walls.

In early 2020, a friend of mine, and fellow photographer, encouraged me to just make my passion a business. And then she was my first client for her engagement pictures. After that I was hooked! I tried couples and seniors but it was families that I vibed with the most. Watching a story unfold in front of me…that was exactly what I loved about taking pics of my own children. So I decided that family photography was where my heart was at and haven’t looked back since.

So that’s it…my origin story in a nutshell!

In all seriousness though, your experience with me is important to me. But what’s more important is that your family have FUN, feel comfortable, and just be YOU…no holding back. Because that’s what you want to remember right? Not stale look at the camera and pose kind of moments. No you want to remember the laughing, cuddling, in between moments that define your family unit.

So I say give me your photo wardrobe woes, your grumpy dads, and your camera insecurities…I GOT YOU! And I will give you all of me in return.
