While 2020 had its challenges it was still a year worth celebrating. I am so grateful for the businesses, families and high school seniors that I had the honor of photographing. Together we created images to help market your business, photos to celebrate milestone events and photos that showcased your love of family. Thank you for having me capture these images for you. You all truly were the bright spots in my year.
I’m a branding photographer and storyteller capturing images that convey who you are and as well as
what you do.

Jumping on the 2016 trend......
Back in 2016, I made a big shift in my business. I slowly started phasing out preschool, family and high school senior photography and leaned fully into what truly lights me up: branding photography, headshots, and product photography (here are some images from that year of new focus).
It wasn’t an overnight decision. It came from listening, learning, and paying attention to the work that felt most aligned and fulfilling. Helping business owners show up confidently and visually tell their story is what I love most.
I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who supported me along the way — the families who trusted me with their kids, the seniors who let me be part of such a big milestone, and especially those who encouraged me to focus on this new direction when I wasn’t quite sure yet.
Your support helped me build a business I genuinely love. 💛
National Hugging Day reminder: hug your people.
Hug a friend. Hug a colleague. Hug someone who’s had a rough week. And definitely hug a dog!🐶
A simple hug can turn a whole day around. Let`s all try and spread a little extra warmth today (and every day).
Happy New Year`s Eve 🥂✨
Here’s to fresh starts, big goals, and plenty of reasons to celebrate. Confetti flying, champagne popping, disco balls shining, balloons in the air — all the fun, all the joy, all the good energy.
Wishing you a year filled with wins, growth, and moments worth celebrating. Cheers to2026! 🎉
