I’ve always believed in the magic of memories. As a child, I was the friend who never left home without a camera—spending my babysitting money on everything from Polaroids, 110 film to 35mm film cameras.

Over time, this passion grew into something much more meaningful: a way to document the beauty of real life, one fleeting moment at a time.

After earning my master’s degree in elementary education, I chose not to return to teaching when my son was born. Instead, I leaned into nannying, which allowed me to balance being a present mom while still working. During this season of life, I found myself naturally capturing families and their stories through my lens, quickly becoming the go-to photographer for holiday cards among my community of nannies and parents.

One late night, rocking my son to sleep, a conversation with a dear friend replayed in my mind: “You should start your own photography business—your eye is incredible, and you can’t teach that!” Those words lit a spark. With her encouragement, I poured myself into learning the business side of photography, building my portfolio, and creating a website. In a leap of faith, I made photography my full-time focus—and I’ve never looked back.

Eighteen years later, I’m still deeply inspired by the small, meaningful details of everyday life. As a mom of two, I know how quickly time moves and how important it is to capture not just the big milestones but also the scrunchy-nosed smiles, belly laughs, and tiny fingers wrapped tightly around yours.

My background as a teacher, nanny, and mother gives me a unique lens through which I approach every session. I understand how much these moments matter—how much they are worth documenting.

Because when the years fly by, and the days blur into each other, you’ll treasure the photos that bring you back to the joy of now. These are more than just pictures—they’re reminders of the love, laughter, and beauty that fill your life every day. It’s my honor to help you hold onto those moments, creating a legacy that will feel just as meaningful years from now as it does today.
