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.

There must be something in the water lately – I have had quite a few maternity sessions lately. I think they are so great to document how beautiful everyone is with their little basketballs. I swear, I was never this pretty when I was pregnant!!
I am SOOOO excited for this baby to arrive… fun plans for...
We took some more traditional portraits (as traditional as I get anyways) down at Sibley Park, but the favorites of the day were on the old couch we threw in the weeds – what a gorgeous family!!
I honestly thought Mom was one of the siblings when I first saw her – she looks so young...
This little girl was ALL smiles from the minute she arrived in the studio – pretty much until she left! LOVE LOVE LOVE it when that happens!! You have a beautiful family – must run in that Le Center blood!
This family is AMAZING! Just imagine… they put their house on the market, sold it in about a week, had a BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY & now living in temporary housing until they move to France! They are part of an organization called “Campus Crusade for Christ” - their mission is to help people grow in their relationship with God.
I wish you...
Wow!! I was really far behind on my blog… I have a maternity & the newborn photos to go along with it. Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl!!

I have posted this little guy’s newborn, 3 month and 6 month sessions on my blog, so you’ll probably recognize him with his amazing curls!! Love him! I can’t wait for his 1 year session… we’re going to have SO MUCH FUN playing outside!
