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.

I always seem to have a few teary-eye moments during a wedding - I just didn’t expect to tear up so early in the day!

One of the reasons that I love weddings – everyone looks so beautiful!! The bride was beautiful, the groom was handsome and to top it off, it was a gorgeous day – a little windy, but a nice blue sky. Thank you for letting me share the day with you!!
Here is a short video of...
I had a couple engagement sessions pretty close together – this fun couple came down from Minneapolis for their engagement session. We had so much fun; I can’t wait for their wedding day!!
This engagement session was so much fun and I had a blast making their guest book for them; it will be a great place to look back at their images and read all the nice things people have to say about them on their wedding day! Here’s a few images from their engagement session.. We miss you...
