Are we meant to be?

We might just be a perfect fit if you identify with one or more of the following:

  • You recognize, or yearn to recognize, the beauty in your everyday life.

  • You loathe the idea of setting aside time for family photos, schlepping the kids in the car, and resorting to threats and bribes for what will undoubtedly be awkward smiles.

  • You’re uncomfortable being photographed.

  • Your family runs away screaming when you announce it’s time for family photos.

  • You have a million candid photos of your family but YOU are not in any of them.

  • You work HARD to create a meaningful life for your family and you want proof that it’s all worth it (because it is).

  • You roll your eyes every time you see another Pinterest-perfect family portrait on social media.

  • You know the moments are whizzing by, and in five, 10, 20 years, you will not just want to remember, but you will want to feel like you are there again. 

 
 

Why i do what i do

I'm a bit neurotic about leaving a visual history for my own children. When I'm long-gone, I want my girls to know I was there. And that I saw them. Together we navigated this crazy human experience and it was raw and beautiful. That's why I document my own children. That's the gift I can help you give your family.

 
 
 
 

More About Me

Most days you can find me decked out in jeans, a Star Wars t-shirt, and a top knot. It's not that I'm that big of a Star Wars fan. It's just that my husband gives me a Star Wars t-shirt for practically every holiday. I'm still trying to figure out why.

If I’m not on my computer, editing and toning pictures or doing other savvy-businesswoman-type things, you can usually find me reading, hiking or spending time with my kids. When they were young we hung out at home a lot doing messy play, after which I’d kick myself. Now I’m the resident chauffeur, driving them to their various activities, joining in on belting out Taylor Swift songs, and navigating some of those big conversations. I walk a wire trying to empower them to be who they are, while struggling with keeping my sanity as they assert their independence and individuality.
