Lifestyle in-home sessions are my photography love language. It feels like such a gift to be invited into a client’s home to capture the real, authentic moments that happen when families are most comfortable.
How it works is I’ll come in and check out the light in your home. It doesn’t matter if you live in a house of glass or a dungeon - don’t worry - I will find the light. Then I will ask your family to show me the spots in the house where you spend the most time doing the things you love - maybe reading on the couch, snuggling or jumping on mom and dad’s bed, eating donuts around the kitchen counter, or having a dance party. Whatever it is - you do you! And I will do my best to play along with your tribe while also staying at a distance so you feel like you can interact authentically.
If all of this sounds intimidating or you feel like your house isn’t “picture-worthy”, I encourage you to give it a shot. I can guarantee you will treasure the images for generations to come.
Contact me for more information about my lifestyle sessions. I promise you won’t regret it!
For the same reason I love lifestyle family sessions, I am obsessed with weddings. They offer so many opportunities to capture candid moments while also giving me a chance to get creative with portraits in the beautiful settings they provide. (Or not so traditionally beautiful settings, which end up being unique and inspiring in their own way).
My approach to the wedding day is relaxed and organized. I love embracing the spirit of the couple and working with their personalities to create images that mean something special to them. Most of all, I love the atmosphere at weddings. Everyone is excited and happy. It is a chance to celebrate love, which is the reason I do photography in the first place.
My wedding prices start at $2500 depending on the package you choose. And if you’re in a location I’m dreaming of shooting in, I might just give you a great deal.
Please contact me for more information and to chat about your big day!
My favorite thing is when a mom or dad calls me before a session and explains that “we are the MOST awkward people in pictures! I always have a lazy eye and my husband refuses to give a normal smile and my kids are just a mess! So it will be an absolute miracle if you get any good shots of us.”
Seriously, I hear this sort of story all. the. time. and I love delivering the images and getting a reply of total shock.
“My kid was screaming that entire time. How did you do it?”
The thing is, I can 100% relate to this scenario because I have four kids, and we are most often a total disaster. If you check out my about me page, look at picture #8.
That is our life.
So I know how you really want that one good image of you all looking great and smiling nice. But I also know that you love images that tell your family’s story.
Because I live this, I can give this. Contact me to chat about how we can capture your crazy family today.
Connecting with couples during their engagement is an inspiration for me. I always go home ready to snuggle up my husband a little extra after taking pictures of people so excited about being in love.
Couples sessions are relaxed and fun with lots of touching involved. Before we begin, I always give a little pep talk and remind people, PDAs are encouraged - go for it! For some couples that’s an all-out make-out session and for others it’s holding hands. Whatever is right for you is right for me.

Bridal portraits offer soon-to-be brides an opportunity to see what they'll look like on their wedding day and a chance to capture gorgeous images without all the stress. They’re also a ton of fun! I’ve been known to bring along some champagne to help loosen you up (if it helps!).

My newborn photography style is very lifestyle driven. I am not a photographer who will bend your baby into unnatural poses (not that there’s anything wrong with that….I guess). And mom, dad and the whole family will be involved, rest assured.
So if you’re up for working with me and letting go of any post baby image issues (which that struggle is real, believe me I know!), I would cherish the opportunity to meet you. And you must allow me to snuggle your newborn. I promise I will sterilize my hands and wear protective gloves if I have to.
Please contact me for Newborn Photography and baby cuddles today.
I love giving back with my lens because I truly believe photography has been one of my greatest gifts. If you are a non-profit in need of visual content for your campaign or marketing materials, don’t hesitate to contact me. My non-profit work is some of my most rewarding.

I have a wide collection of fine art prints that are available for purchase through an online gallery. Contact me with special requests.
I love capturing beautiful mamas and their baby bumps. I remember having my first maternity session and it felt so surreal after our troubles getting pregnant. I will forever cherish those images of me and my husband on the brink of our parenting adventure.
I’ve heard a lot of moms say they wish they would have done some maternity shots. Even if you are swollen and feeling like all you want to do is eat another pint of Ben and Jerry’s, I promise it’s worth the hassle. You are doing an amazing, absolutely beautiful thing by growing a life in your body.
Celebrate it!
