I’m not great at yoga but I’m still really flexible.

…Well, in the sense that your photos can happen in your house on your couch - not in the sense that I can fold myself into a pretzel kinda flexible! ‘magine!

Look beyond the beautiful light and notice the pile of laundry at the bottom of the stairs.

Storytelling.

Our days can feel like a grind. We move so fast that we forget to take notice of the little moments that pass us by. Before we know it, there aren’t sticky little fingerprints on our windows, the diapers are no more diapers, and the training wheels are off their bikes.

Let’s capture your moments before more slip by.

timeless.

These two candy-motivated criminals? Yeah, they’re mine.

You’ll see images of them sprinkled here and there. You see, not only are they so damn cute but they are my inspiration. After I became a parent, I became less interested in the “perfect” photos and more captivated by the real moments that happen in our life. These photos will serve as a diary of their childhood someday. They’ll serve us well when our memories can’t.

These two are the reason I do what I do for families like yours. What I capture daily is my gift to them. I want to share that gift with you.
