Learn More About Me

Hello friend!! I am so thrilled you are here and browsing the site! Finding the perfect photographer for you and your life long memories is a pretty important task. My style is one that fits well with those that want a timeless, classic, true to life gallery that is full of laughter and joy.

So yesterday was my little ones first day of the 3rd grade.  I am still over here in denial and wishing time would stop.  One of the things that I love about my daughter going to private school is the fact that she gets to wear a uniform.  That is just one more battle we […]

I have had the privilege of photographing sweet Addianne and her brothers a few times and when her mom called me wanting to do some pictures at a local horse farm, well I jumped at the opportunity.  Addianne is taking lessons at Fiesta Farm and they were nice enough to let us come out and […]

Soooo, this post is long overdue!  One thing you need to know about me personally is that my husband and I LOVE to travel.  We have been to 5 continents and over 20 different countries in the few short years that I have had the privilege of international travel.  It is most certainly our favorite […]

I have had the pleasure of knowing Tara since I was probably born!  Our parents went to school together and we grew up learning to water ski off the back of her dad’s boat (may that beautiful boat rest in peace).  Little known fact, I went to 8th grade formal with her little brother Aaron. […]
