The Heart Behind the Lens

I started this because I was afraid of forgetting.

I realized a while ago that my memory isn't the strongest. When I think back to my grandmother, I search for photos of just the two of us, just a single frame to hold onto, and I realize they don't exist. It’s that feeling of a "missing moment" that drives me to pick up my camera every single day.

I don’t just want to give you a photo; I want to give you back a piece of your life.  My nickname is"Sunshine," and I take that energy with me to every session. I believe the world is already vibrant and beautiful, which is why I stick to true-to-color photography. In a world of heavy filters and fleeting trends, I prefer the grounded, elegant truth of the colors we actually see.

The End of "Stiff" Poses

If you’re worried about feeling awkward or standing in a stiff line, you’re in the right place. My sessions feel more like a "Core Memory" in the making than a photo shoot.

• For the kids: We aren't "posing"; we’re playing games, blowing bubbles, and seeing if you can outrun Mom and Dad.

• For the "camera-shy" partners: I promise a sense of play. We’ll focus on the head-bumps, the soft nudges, and the way you lean into each other when you think no one is looking.

Beyond the Camera

When I’m not documenting your story, you can find me hiking through the woods with my husband and my dog, painting in my studio, or dancing like nobody’s watching. I’m a total movie buff who loves a good snuggle-in story night, and I bring that same love for storytelling to every frame I capture for you.
