2023 brought on a lot of change for me both internally and externally which affected my ability to photograph my family and myself. I don’t know why creativity is like that for me. Maybe it’s like that for everyone. The more the world pulls me in multiple directions, the more I am pulled away from…

I’m a wife and a mom to two, based in Morgantown, West Virginia.

Photography has always been part of my life, but it became something deeper when I had my daughter. I found myself wanting to hold onto everything-the way her tiny hands fit in mine, the quiet in-between moments, the feeling of those early days that pass before you even realize they’re gone.

That’s what I chase now.

Not perfection. Not just smiling at the camera.
The real, fleeting, ordinary magic of your life as it is.

I believe photography is more than something you hang on your walls. It’s something your children will come back to someday to remember how it felt to be loved here.

The chaos, the connection, and the way your family moves together matters. And it deserves to be remembered honestly.

Telling those stories for my family and for yours isn’t just what I do. It’s the work I feel called to.
