we can’t stop time, but we can save it.

Behind the Camera

Mother to 3, wife to 1, dreamer of dreams, & a lover of love.

Photography is the thing that makes me tick. My sentimental mind is camera dependent. I’ve been drawn to photography all my life and always have hauled my camera everywhere. I’ve studied photography and obsessed over photographers all over the place, but my love for it didn’t root on a goal or in a direction. For me, it had always been about finding light and capturing love just for fun, and for me.

But for the past 10 years, I’ve been using my camera to document my little family’s life through incredible highs and the unimaginable lows. My passion for not only photography but truly savoring life, while we can, has grown rampantly.

Gratitude and grief have taught me everything I know and drive me everywhere I go. Photography isn’t something I’m drawn to reservedly anymore. It’s something that drives me towards others.

The life you live and the heart you lead is a story to leave. I would be honored to help you tell it.
