About
I believe the meaningful relationships I build with my families & brides allow me to illustrate every unique story through high-quality digital and print images, at affordable prices.
Between family sessions, seniors sessions and some pretty amazing weddings, I’ve fallen more and more in love with this amazingly beautiful life. I truly have the best job ever! Being able to capture your moments, your memories, & your forevers allows me to share that joy and beauty with not only you, but the world!
When I am not working, I enjoy the simple things in life, with my amazing husband Jason, our 5 dogs, & 18 chickens. Our daughter, Lilly, just recently graduated from high school, left the nest, and is about to embark on her next adventure in life. She is currently torn between college and the US Navy, and is working on making a final decision on what she will do next. We enjoy camping, hiking, boating, kayaking, fishing, and exploring pretty much anywhere in nature. We love live music and attend as many shows as we can, for both our local musicians, and our favorite mainstream bands/artists.
These are my moments, my memories and my forevers, they are what drive me to do what I do, and the reason I love what I do. I believe everyone should be able to capture their moments and cherish the memory of them forever.
So tell me, where do your moments, your memories & your forevers begin?

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Here is my workflow process.
1. Receive initial inquiry (phone, email, social media)
2. Reach out via phone, email or video chat to consult with client to find out as much detail on what they are looking for in their session.
3. Work with them to create a unique session that meets their needs, including advise on styling, posing, location, dates and times (as needed).
4. Send Contract & Invoice once date, location and time are locked down.
5. Session is confirmed upon receipt of signed contract and paid retainer.
6. Remain in constant communication with client throughout the entire process to ensure that all of their needs, expectations and any image requests are met.
7. Proofing gallery is sent within 7-10 days of session date (usually quicker) with basic edits (color correction, etc) so that client can select their images that are included in their session package.
8. Once client image selection is received, full edits are completed for the selected images, a sneak peek is posted on social media, and the final gallery is released for client download and/or print purchases (usually completed within 72 hours).
9. One week after final gallery is released phone, email or video chat to follow up on the experience, request feedback etc. My goal is to ensure great customer service, superior quality images, and affordable rates for my clients. I want their experience to be unique and exceptional from beginning to end.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Just last month I had the most amazing Sunflower Field, Sunset Session with the most adorable family and their newest addition. The kiddos loved playing in the sunflower field and mom & dad were in love with the final images from this playful session. I cannot wait for the next session with them once their littlest one turns 1.
