I would love to be your photographer. I've been both in front of and behind a camera since before I can remember. Capturing genuine smiles and creating photos that will be passed down for generations is my passion. I love when my clients see their photos for the first time and truly see their beauty and light come through the images. I can't wait to hear from you and to create and capture those photos you've been dreaming of.

Baird Family

I absolutely love sunrise sessions; the light, the calm, it’s just the perfect time for a photo session. These two boys did such an amazing job this chilly spring morning. A I got out of my car I was greeted with a great big hug and the question “what’s your name?” – I knew then […]
