My mission is to make family pictures as stress-free as possible for my clients. And to teach other photographers how to deliver stunning galleries and successfully market their businesses.
I was born and raised in Michigan and Switzerland and currently live in Utah. As a mother of four, I can use my life-experience as a resource to know how to document the people my clients love most - their families.
You might find me on the ski slopes, or at a sushi restaurant, but right now I'm probably in front of my computer eating chocolate chips straight from the bag.
Now that you know me, I'd love to get to know you. Head on over to the "Contact" link and send me a message with any questions you have.
I really learned the art of family portrait posing - information that is really hard to find with the latest trend of un-posed pictures. Now I can confidently create mantle-worthy images along with candids that will make you cry happy tears. Now I'm teaching others to do the same thing...
My photography business grew from a desire to learn how to take incredible portraits of my babies and toddlers, while also capturing the cute and sweet moments of their childhood. Both types of images are such a treasure to me now which is why my photography style has evolved into what it is today - family portraits with candid moments mixed in to capture personalities and family relationships
