Lets get to know eachother, shall we?

Your life is made up of stories that will one day turn into nostalgic feelings, and can be enjoyed for generations to come. Photography to me is about leaving the highlight reels behind and reconnecting to your roots. As a photographer and your storyteller, I'm passionate about witnessing you in your element, through my lens, Preserving your moments of the real-life magic that make up your everyday. All of what makes you- YOU.

The love for photography began the year I became a mama in 2012. I picked up a camera and never let it go. Marriage and motherhood experiences have taught me to fall in love with the simple beauty of everyday - Real-life moments of magic that hide in the seemingly mundane. My heart leaps for that joy found in a slow Sunday morning with Jesus, a good cup of coffee, belly laughter from happy kids, and the embrace of loving arms.

When I'm not out adventuring, hiking with my camera glued to my hand, documenting all the sweet love that is in this life - You'll find me at home, barefoot, naked-faced, with tired eyes, wearing a baggy cardigan (because I'm always cold!) and 100% being the "hot mess" mom or the "let's order pizza" kind of wife because I hate cooking and pizza is life!

If you haven't already guessed it, I'm a tad nature obsessed. My favorite memories involve being outside - Day hiking, camping, chasing waterfalls, and road trips - It's a must. Aside from that, I also happen to have a pretty cute family that's made up of my three daughters, one son, and my best friend/husband, Joseph. He stole my heart back in 2010 and still puts up with me to this day. In 2019 we packed up our family and left behind the Arizona desert to call a small town in Northeastern Washington, HOME. We have this crazy, wild dream of building a homestead in the mountains and raising barefoot, wild & free children.

Meet the reason my heart gushes over love stories.

Joy found in the simple things:

Dancing *always*

First and foremost, let's connect before the camera shutter even clicks. My every intention is to turn those "I'm so awkward" statements into afterthoughts. Your day, your love, your trust means the most. I care deeply about giving you not only photographs but a beautiful experience. I promise to have you feeling comfortable and celebrated. It's all about YOUR real-life magic moments, where you embrace every form of life. I'll be there for the nitty-gritty goodness, those GRAND (and simple) adventures. Think of it this way - It's your nostalgic love story in the making. So, let's get deeply rooted in it every step of the way. Because you deserve it, deal?
