I love meeting new people and bonding with other mommies over the joys and complexities of motherhood and family life. My husband's job leads us to move every few years so I am always looking to connect with others, whether it's through photography, our local church, or out and about!
After teaching high school Spanish and Home Economics for nearly a decade, I feel so lucky to not only be able to stay home with my own children but also to get to have a creative outlet through photography.While neither of my jobs (as a mommy or as a photographer) are always easy, I absolutely love them and can't imagine doing anything else.

Services
Newborns
Report
It is never too early to book your newborn session! Newborn sessions are my priority but my calendar fills quickly. It is best to contact me in your second trimester or early third trimester to be placed on my newborn calendar to ensure a spot. For a successful newborn session, please plan for your session to take place during the first 3-10 days after birth to help ensure a sleepy, flexible baby.
Babies
Report
In addition to newborn sessions, I also offer a sitting up session (generally from 6-9 months but varies from baby to baby) and a one-year-old birthday session with cake smash and bubble bath. I do not currently offer sessions for babies that cannot sit up unassisted (with the exception of newborns, which are done 3-10 days after birth).
Maternity
Report
Maternity sessions are only available when booked in conjunction with a newborn session--perfect for families looking for a consistent look in their portraits. This is a great time to pamper yourself and have your hair and makeup professionally done before your session. You will need nude seamless maternity underwear and a well-fitting, supportive nude strapless bra for most maternity gowns.
Investment
Report
I have watched my children grow so quickly and feel a sense of urgency to record and capture as many memories as possible. When my second daughter was just a few months old, I was reminded of how quickly that newborn stage goes by. You're paying for beautifully lit, meticulously styled, expertly posed, and professionally edited images.
Training
Report
Video shows a basic baby edit from start to finish using hand edits in Adobe Photoshop on a Mac. Basic Photoshop knowledge is assumed. Portraiture (available here) is the demonstrated tool for skin smoothing but you can use the skin smoother of your choice. This image was shot with an 85mm at f/2.5, 1/250s, ISO 160 using an AB400 strobe with a 7' octabox.
