Simple Sophistication
My mission
Sounds simple enough, right?! Well I have found that anything that looks simple usually appears that way because someone has put the time and energy into perfecting it. I feel so lucky that I get to spend my time perfecting the art of capturing and documenting the beauty of life!
Photography entered my life in 2009 with the birth of my first child, and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s taught me to see the world in a whole new way. Even when I’m not behind the camera, I’m always looking for light, framing moments, and finding beauty in the ordinary.
Light is my love language. Whether I’m using soft back-light, dramatic sidelight, or flattering direct light, it’s always at the heart of my work. I’m driven by the desire to create images that not only capture a moment but preserve the emotion behind it. From an infant’s first reach to a child’s joyful leap, I want to help you relive those special moments forever.
My style is clean, rich in color, and always led by beautiful light. But my true superpower? Helping you feel relaxed & comfortable so that your photos show the real you. Don’t just take my word for it—check out my reviews !
When I’m not capturing memories or riding a board (surf, snow, or wake!), you’ll find me running, baking cookies, sipping chai tea, or running my kids to their latest activity.
Now that you know a little about me, I can’t wait to learn about your story and capture it in a way you’ll treasure for years to come.
After several years of taking photography courses and practicing daily, I decided to challenge myself by applying for Click Pro. What began as a fun exercise turned into a year and a half of intense learning and portfolio-building. The process of experimenting with my camera—especially around light and composition—leveled up my skills in ways I couldn’t have imagined. It helped me master the rules of photography, so I now know when to break them to create something unique. It also helped me define my style and sharpen my eye for the perfect shot.
In addition to Click Pro, I’m proud to have earned the Hello Pro badge, (both are awarded to less than 15% of applicants). These accomplishments reflect my commitment to continuous growth and my passion for always improving my craft. You can trust that you’re working with someone recognized for excellence in the photography industry.
Contrary to what is popular, I do not use presets. This is because most presets do not transfer equally to all types of light. I prefer to have complete control over each image, even if the editing process takes more time.
Photography means "painting with light". Light guides all of my photos. Whether it's backlight to highlight a loving look or blue
light to create a fun silhouette, you'll
notice creative use
of light in your
gallery.
Movement is a great way to loosen everyone up, but it also works well for creating
energy and bringing your photos to life. Throughout your session you'll see
me incorporate movement in a
variety of ways.
Genuine emotion and strong connection help illustrate your story. Whether it's a belly laugh, connection with the camera, or even connection through
a gentle touch - you'll notice it often throughout
your gallery.
