A fun-loving, light-chasing photographer capturing authentic moments.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look around! I grew up as a proud farmer’s daughter, where our version of a family vacation was spending a week at the county fair with our favorite cows. Those early years of farm life and 4-H shaped so much of who I am today. That cool kid who sat behind me in 7th-grade homeroom? He became a great friend, an even better boyfriend after college, and, now, my husband of nearly 30 years. Together, we’ve built a life with three amazing kids, a house with cats and doggers, and a barn that’s home to chickens and pigs every summer. Growing up on a farm, I quickly learned how weather and light shaped everything we did. I became fascinated by the warm glow of sunset and the way light reflected off the world around me. When my oldest daughter was born, I noticed that same beautiful light reflected in her eyes, and I wanted to capture it forever. That’s when my love for photography began. I taught myself natural light photography and started a business that allowed me to embrace both motherhood and my creative passion. For nearly 20 years, I’ve been blessed to photograph families, seniors, and special moments. It’s taught me that perfect pictures don’t exist, and the best shots often come from life’s imperfect, unplanned moments—babies crying, something tumbling over, or natural reactions that show true connections. Here’s a little more about me: I’m the woman who loves her husband, kids, fur babies, and friends with her whole heart. I’m obsessed with summer, chocolate, and warm evenings under the stars. I make it a point to notice every sunrise and let it inspire a fresh start to my day. I am a rim snob. I won’t buy are car if the rims are ugly.  Hate cleaning but love a clean house. I photograph every client like my family or child. I am not like other photographers because I guarantee so many pictures but always give more. My photo packages are based around a mom's love of her family or child….lots of pictures!!!! I can’t wait to meet you and help tell your story through my lens! Now it’s your turn to tell me about you!

It's an honor to photograph you.
