I have had a camera strap around my neck since I was 11 years old. Four kids later, and my only other passion is them. They are my life!
In my twenties my primary focus was editorial work and weddings. I loved focusing on women and their absolute beauty.
Now in my thirties, my passion has stayed with women, but primarily in Maternity, and their Newborns. Newborn Photography is a very rewarding challenge, but the real reward is when I am able to capture a Mothers perfect form while pregnant, and prove to her how beautiful she is!
how it started
The transition of my work has been over a very eventful decade. Weddings and engagements kept me so busy that there was no room for anything else. My Wedding clients started having babies, and I started dabbling and learning Newborn Art, and grew a new passion that quickly changed my focus. In 2016 I opened a modest little Studio for newborns and loved every minute of that tiny studio!
Even though I had two wonderful sons, in 2016 my Husband and I started trying for baby number 3. We encountered 10 losses back to back, fertility treatments, and a lot of pain.
in 2019 my Identical twin sister carried our embryo and gave birth to our son. It was THAT pregnancy that gave me a new passion for Maternity Photography. It was the most wonderful, healing experience!
In a miracle, I gave birth in 2020, just 11 months after my sister gave birth to my son, to my one and only daughter! Now our family is complete!
