Before becoming a photographer, I was a preschool teacher. I loved helping little ones learn, grow, and seeing the world through their eyes. That season of my life taught me patience, connection, and the importance of celebrating life’s little moments.

Photography began as a hobby during one of the hardest seasons of my life. What started as a creative outlet to help me through depression slowly became something much more. Picking up a camera gave me purpose again and changed the direction of my life in the best way.

Today, I have the privilege of documenting the moments that matter most. Whether it’s the quiet in-between moments or the big milestones, my goal is to create photographs that take you right back to how it all felt.

I fully believe the best photos happen when you’re busy laughing, talking, chasing your kids, or forgetting I’m even there. So don’t stress about posing or being perfect. I’ll guide you through everything, celebrate the chaos, and probably make a fool of myself if it gets a genuine smile out of you.

Meet the team:

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m chasing after my two busy kids, Maylee (6) and Lowen (2). Being their mom is the greatest joy of my life.

I’m also someone who has known deep grief through the loss of my son, Levi. If your family’s story doesn’t fit the picture-perfect mold, and you’ve experienced loss or heartache that feels hard to talk about, I want you to know that your story is safe with me. It will be seen, honored, and held with care.

In honor of Levi’s life, my husband and I started Love Like Levi, a page dedicated to sharing acts of kindness in his memory. Because of him, I offer grief sessions at no cost for families facing the unimaginable, including those with terminally ill children or the loss of an infant. If this is something your family needs, please reach out privately. It would be an honor to serve you.

Outside of photography, you’ll usually find me writing (I’m hoping to publish both a memoir and a children’s book someday), traveling, spending time with my family and friends, or just sitting outside enjoying the sun!

Although I’m based in Billings, Montana, I travel to Mesa, Arizona several times a year and happily photograph sessions there as well. My biggest dream is to tell stories all over the world with my family along for the adventure.

The joys of my life
