I am a wife and mama to two little miracles from Morgantown, West Virginia. I've had a passion for photography my entire life, but when I had my daughter three years ago, I felt a deep urge to capture her every move. Her tiny baby feet and hands were changing every day, and I wanted a way that I could hold on to those memories forever. Photography is a gift that I provide my family with. I want my children to have authentic documentation of their childhood. I, wholeheartedly, believe that photography is an heirloom.
I am living my dream by getting to know other families and telling their story through a series of photographs. I love to learn about, and document, what you love about your family. Babies change fast. The beautiful chaos of life is something you'll want to remember the rest of your life. Helping other families provide an heirloom for their children is my life's mission.

“And every day, the world will drag you by the hand, yelling, “This is important! And this is important! And this is important! You need to worry about this! And this! And this!” And each day, it’s up to you to yank your hand back, put it on your heart and say, “No. This is…

Season Of Motherhood
It’s been nearly a year now. My kids and I have been living, learning, and working at home since March of last year. My time running a business and creating usually looks a lot like sitting down to work and standing up 15 seconds later to help someone in the bathroom, break up a fight,…

Artifact Motherhood- 2021
We get up with the sun nearly every morning, I serve breakfast, clean up, and get ready for the day. Errands, tutoring, school, speech, and homeschool lessons have taken up nearly every drop of mental energy I have each day, but I started this year with a list of goals for self improvement, self love,…

January 2021- Year In The Life
Every month this year I will be documenting the same 11 families as they face the planned and unplanned moments 2021 has to offer. Every three months I will include another 6 families on that same journey, and all 17 families will end the year with a yearbook full of their memories. New babies, new…

Birthday Walk
I have been documenting this family a few times a year since Liam, the oldest of three boys, turned one. Each year, on or near their birthdays, we document life the way it is for them at that age. Yesterday, we documented Aidin at 3 by taking a walk around the property around their house.…

2020- Year In Review
2020 was difficult for a lot of reasons. In a year that could’ve left me having to close my business, I’m incredibly proud of the collection of images I have at the end of the year. My business, fortunately, made it out unscathed, and I feel more myself than ever when I’m shooting. These are…

YITL-December
Nearly all client yearbooks have been delivered and galleries have been sent. We wrapped up an entire year of sessions together, and I couldn’t feel more proud of this group of people. They made a decision at the beginning of the year to commit to something they’ve never done before, and the results were magical.…

On the Other Side-Part 4
I was worried about my lack of showing up this year before I started to compile my self portraits. Self portraiture has been an outlet for me for 4 years now, but the idea of putting myself in front of the lens seemed overwhelming to me this year. I just didn’t feel whole enough to…
