I have always loved people. Like, "wander away from your parents to talk to random strangers at the grocery store," kinda love for people. You know those kids that have to be on a leash? That was totally me. I suppose the public humiliation only made me more resilient, because now I quite literally make friends with strangers for a living. I document love stories, dance with my clients on the happiest days of their lives, & cherish every friend I make along the way!
For over a decade, my business was my pride and joy; I was entirely convinced I would never love anything more than being a photographer and entrepreneur. Then... I became a mom.
I truly adore this career, but nothing can compare to the calling I feel to raise kind, loving, compassionate followers of Jesus. My former self (a workaholic, perfectionist, and pathological people-pleaser) has slowly transformed into a boundary-setting, grace-giving, incredibly intentional business owner; one that a past version of me only dreamed of becoming. While I have quickly discovered that stay-at-home motherhood amidst full-time self employment is not for the faint of heart... I genuinely would not trade it for the world.
My clients are my chosen family, and I know God intricately shaped me to be a photographer so I could love and serve others beyond the four walls of my home. I'm so grateful I get to call the most loving, kind, and gracious humans my people!

if strolling aisles at TJ Maxx was an olympic sport, I'd have more medals than Michael Phelps
