As a mother myself, I understand the frustrations of having a husband who never thinks to take photos of my girlie and me. And IF he does (usually because I asked), they're not at all what I had envisioned.
We all KNOW that this time is going to fly by and we should document our kids as they grow but, as moms, I don't think we always consider it equally as important to capture our pivotal role in our children's lives. I want to change that.
With a slow and intentional approach, I am committed to capturing the raw, unfiltered beauty of maternity, not just in the picture-perfect moments, but in the intimate, in-between scenes that embody the true essence of motherhood. My mission is to provide families with timeless artwork that comes from taking our time, embracing the challenges, and collaborating to craft visual stories that resonate deeply, reminding you of your profound impact long after the moment has passed.
gone are the days of you being in the background
my favorite girl and me
As a former model and Spanish major, I never dreamed of becoming a mom as so many other girls do. I wanted to travel and experience as many cultures as possible. One day, that changed. "Never say never," they say...
When I became a mother to my beautiful baby girl, I truly fell head over heels. Not just with her, but with the obsession of remembering her exactly how she was at every step of the way. I already had a photography business on the side that I had started while getting a photography minor in school. But this relationship ignited something different in me that I hadn't experienced before.
I quickly came to the realization that if I had this passion, there was no way I was alone. It truly makes my heart so full to spend time with families and have the privilege to capture their everyday lives. Not only that but seeing their reaction to my photos of them is like two gifts in one.
