midwest newborn, cake smash + family photographer

I have always had a love for art and storytelling. Photography allows me to combine my journalism background and my artistic point-of-view, which has become my dream career!

I am a wife, mom, and small business owner. On the days when I'm not at the studio, you can find me at home, editing, busy with my boys, or maybe redecorating my house, because the artsy-side of my mind just doesn't stop!
