In order to tell you why I love doing what I do, I have to make a confession. I have a horrible memory. I never know if I actually remember events or if I just remember them because I have seen photographs of them. Fortunately, I have always carried a camera everywhere, taking pictures of everything (much to the annoyance of many of my friends and family) so I can look back at the photographs and always remember!
Documenting every moment is the root of my style. I want you to be able to remember everything & everyone as they are at that time in their life. Even if it means a baby is constantly making spit bubbles, or holds his fingers in his mouth, it isn't an imperfection, it is a memory of that time in their life. If a five year old is as crazy as can be, let's not force him to sit up straight and tilt his head to the camera, let's remember who he is.
I love working inside the studio and with nature as the backdrop. I love new babies, kids of all ages, seniors, families & weddings. I take pride in keeping my work modern and fresh by going to photography workshops and seminars throughout the year.
I look forward to meeting you and creating photographs so you are able to always remember the special moments in your life.

This senior session was so much fun! I hope that he enjoyed it (just a little?!) We spent some time in the studio and then headed to a state park for some outdoor shots. We ended up hiking around & his Mom and I watched as he tried to jump from a little island back to...
We had a lot of fun with this senior session. We spent most of our time outdoors at a nearby park and then came back to the studio for a few more shots. I just LOVE the color of her hair and she has BEAUTIFUL eyes to go along with it!

I can’t believe he is a senior!! This is my little cousin, okay, not so little – he’s taller than I am now. He is an AMAZING musician (always has been!), so we took a lot of images with his favorite guitar. We had a fun afternoon running around town for his senior portraits.
Here’s a little video...
