hello THere! I'm so glad you're here!
I am an emotion-loving, momma of two who craves fresh air, quiet moments with God, and those beautiful glowing sunsets. I love being outdoors. Nature gives me a sense of peace and reminds me to slow down and listen. I laugh a lot, and cry often, and I believe there is beauty in both.
From the moment I picked up my first film camera in high school, I knew I was in love with something special. So much so that I covered every square inch of my childhood bedroom walls with photographs, which I am sure my parents loved at the time. This love began the dream of capturing more emotion-filled moments, which led to my career in wedding and portrait photography.
My husband, Brandon, and I have two children which I tend to overshare images of pretty frequently. A few years ago, we were on a mission to change the way we live. We purged most of our belongings (including our house and a crazy number of sweaters that proved I have a slight problem), and we set out on journey from coast to coast, exploring many places in-between for an entire year. After a year, we were ready to settle down again, and felt that our time away confirmed even more, the Midwest is our home.
We are passionate about living a meaningful, yet simple life focused on faith, family, and experiences.
Much like the way we live our lives, my photography is simple and focused on your unforgettable moments of love.
