Photographing families lets me continue to work with my favorite people group: kids. It’s always been kids for me. I love being around them, watching them think and create and be so curious about the world. I wish I could put into words how they make me feel, but I don’t think I need to. You see the world through your kids’ eyes—no judgement, no pretense, just authentic observations and raw emotions.
It’s what makes me passionate about this: I want to help you remember them exactly as they are right now.
I won’t give you posed, stiff, formal images. I want to capture you living your real life and give you images that represent real, authentic moments that will take you right back every time you look at them.
I remember those years with little babies….like it was yesterday.
But it wasn’t yesterday. My daughter is now 33-years-old and has a daughter of her own. That’s right, I’m a grandma! But being around kids takes me right back …
At 21, I was freshly single with a 2-year-old daughter. I went to school to become a pediatric nurse to support us. I worked in the NICU, loving on babies and quite literally nursing them into life.
My life was crazy busy with school and work and I wasn’t thinking about documenting all that was happening. I didn’t realize that one day, my daughter might want to see the snapshots of who she was along the way. It’s why I do this now. All I want is to give you what I don’t have: tangible memories that show how connected you are in this season.
From young mom…to nurse…to photographer…to Grandma!
The years passed and I went on to get a master’s degree and became a Nurse Practitioner. I had a son and now have 4 wonderful children in our blended family. I’ve accomplished a lot that I’m proud of, but this journey into photography might be my favorite path yet.
