With over a decade behind the lens, I've had the privilege of capturing countless love stories, family milestones, and new beginnings. Each session is a unique journey, and I'm here to document yours with authenticity and care. It is a privilege for me to be part of your journey, whether it's your love story, family moments, or new beginnings. My goal is to weave together these precious moments in time, creating memories for you to cherish forever.
Balancing life between the urban and rural landscapes of Suffolk, I share my world with my husband, Michael, and our three spirited children. Our days are filled with the beautiful chaos that inspires my passion for capturing genuine family moments.
My language of love revolves around quotes from nerdy movies and TV shows, and I find joy in escaping into the world of fantasy novels. One of the best decisions I've made is getting a switch, which has allowed me to reconnect with my inner child in ways I couldn't when I was younger. And if you ever find yourself on a long car ride with me, be prepared to hear me sing loudly to an eclectic playlist!

Capturing Authentic Moments in Suffolk Virginia
Growing up I wasn't allowed to play video games and experience that immersive joy. Three years ago my husband bought me a switch and the latest zelda game - and I was hooked!

Reading has always been a huge part of my life, it was always joked I carried a book everywhere (an impressive thing in the days before smart devices. A good book to me is the best way to unwind.

My husband always jokes that I am good at everything - and he is mostly true. My favorite current pass-time is crochet and digital art, but I also love jewelry making & sewing.
all things crafty
I love being able to spend the morning in a coffee shop, enjoy being a part of something but still being able to observe the world -- along with a great drink and something to nibble.

Do I possess extraordinary Photoshop skills? Absolutely. However, I won't utilize them to drastically alter your appearance in photos (unless agreed upon at booking). My primary objective is to capture the real you, not to reimagine you. My approach centers on utilizing natural light and capturing genuine expressions, ensuring each photograph reflects the true essence of your story. I believe in preserving authenticity, allowing your unique moments to shine. Feel free to explore my portfolio to gain a clearer understanding of my unique style.

the reality of family photos
The whole family portrait was taken using a timer on my phone to snap the picture, but we had SOOO many bloopers. Plus when I was behind the camera, they decided to be silly, which honestly, makes me smile now -- because it is them!
