02. the early years were tough

01. where it all began

Working full-time as a Registered Nurse, healthcare become more and more "corporate" and I was less and less happy.  I had a family now and had started photographing my own children and was quickly falling in love again with the camera.  As they say, the rest is history.

02. the early years were tough

01. where it all began

I was chasing all the latest photography trends that I saw everyone else doing.  Newborn in a bucket?  Yep.  Naked newborn in parent's arms?  Yep.  Ugh. 

The quality of my work was good, but I just didn't fee IN LOVE with it.  And if you don't love what you do, then...

02. the early years were tough

01. where it all began

In 2020, after 25 years of working as an RN I took a leap of faith and stepped away from my first passion for good, and I haven't looked back.  

As a Nurse, my job was to take care of and advocate for, my patients.  Now, I've taken that same experience and drive, to take care and advocate for my clients.

01. where it all began

While I’m not the girl who will drop some serious cash on the latest “it” purse, I'm utterly enchanted by travel and making memories in breathtaking locations and I don’t care how much it costs. My first international trip was to London in 2019, and I've eagerly sought out excuses to cross the pond ever since. I'd welcome any destination recommendations you'd like to share!

Now, clients like you commission me for sessions that are full of soft colors, simply posed, where your family is the art.  Classic and timeless portraits that last generations through when printed into the highest quality framed wall art and custom heirloom albums.
