My initial work and training was as a commissioned children’s portrait painter. I started my love for photography after my two children were born. I have a 10 year old girl and a 7 year old boy and they continually inspire me!

My photography is influenced not only by my connection with children (I used to teach preschool!), but by my sensibility to light, composition, and facial expressions gained as an artist. I absolutely love to capture the beautiful, precious, and fleeting moments of childhood to be remembered forever. What a gift that is! I also come from a career in musical theater which taught me to find the magic of human connections and visual storytelling.

It has been amazing working for Bella Baby, photographing newborns in the hospital and then continuing out of the hospital and seeing them grow into little people. It’s the best job! I am excited to work with you and give your family memories they will never forget!
