I’m an Indiana family photographer, wife, and proud mom to two energetic boys who remind me every single day just how quickly childhood flies by. Years ago, after my oldest son was born, I found myself reaching for my camera constantly. I wasn’t trying to create perfect photos—I was trying to hold onto the little things. The way he laughed. The messy curls. Tiny hands wrapped around mine. I realized those ordinary moments were the ones I never wanted to forget.

That passion became my purpose.

Today, I help families preserve this season of life with colorful, joy-filled images that feel authentic, emotional, and timeless. I want you to look back years from now and remember not just what your family looked like, but what this chapter felt like. Around here, you’ll never be expected to stand perfectly still or force smiles. Kids get to be kids. We chase sunsets, embrace the chaos, laugh a lot, and create space for genuine connection—because those are the memories worth keeping. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me reading a good book, rewatching Schitt’s Creek, shopping way too many online boutiques, or spending time with my favorite people—my husband and our two boys, Jackson and Jasper.

I’d be honored to help tell your family’s story.
