PHOTOGRAPHS THAT CAPTURE NOT JUST HOW IT LOOKED. BUT HOW IT FELT.

Kids grow up FAST - that's one thing every mother knows all too well. Babies turn into toddlers who turn into children, and children turn into teens and then adults. As time passes, we are left only with our memories - and the photographs we keep to hold those moments dear to our hearts. My goal is to capture more than just a snapshot of how things looked - it's to capture how it felt, so you can revisit your memories forever and cherish them for a lifetime.

A signed contract and a 50% retainer officially secure your date.
