My style of photography is a little bit of a blend. I enjoy capturing the more traditional portraits, but the authentic moments that tell the story of your family are what truly have my heart. Genuine emotions, stunning backdrops and lots of laughter and fun are all incorporated into your session leaving you with beautiful, cinematic images to decorate your home and treasure for generations.

“We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.”
-Ralph Hattersley
behind the lens
I've been photographing families, newborns and seniors in the central Illinois area for the past four years. I'm an outgoing people person, who absolutely loves meeting new families while also reconnecting with my past families year to year. I aim to make your session fun, relaxed and an all around enjoyable experience. While I can be a type-a, organized, task master, I enjoy the freedom of rolling with the punches to see what authentic, joyful moments we can create during our time together.

As a mom of three, I realize more than ever how quickly time passes and children grow. Documenting your family is so important, not just for your Christmas card, but to freeze time, just for a moment. The way your husband looks at his baby girl, a proud senior about to leave home for college, the sibling bond of three, roughhousing brothers, Grandma and Grandpa surrounded by grandchildren and giggles- these are the memories you want to hold tightly. It is not only my goal to deliver a beautiful image, but to take these moments and create something meaningful.
