The first time I looked into my daughter’s eyes, I knew photography mattered. Capturing this moment - capturing all of her special and beautiful moments to come - would be my way of keeping all of these fleeting memories close to my heart for a lifetime. Children grow so fast, and I knew my time with her in my arms would be short. Getting “the shot” had more meaning than ever, and I began to find my passion.

I had been immersed in the creative marketing industry for over eleven years and I was beginning to see life differently. I had worked on projects for the Sundance Film Festival, the PGA tour and a variety of other high-end projects but my heart found its purpose when I took photos of my children, and soon, of other parents’ children and families. 

Kids are real; they tell it how it is, and they don’t know how to “fake it”. Children always offer raw, honest emotion and when this is captured in a photo, we have a true memory of that child’s personality we can keep forever, who they really are. Its my privilege to captures these special moments and memories for all my clients and I would love to do the same for you.
