My story...

The short and sweet of it! I was born and raised in Caroline County. I met this charming boy when I was just 16 years old and in 2011 I officially took his last name! Fast forward, we now have 3 crazy beautiful kids that constantly keep us on our toes and we wouldn’t change that for the world! I consider myself an old soul, my favorite sessions are those on a dirt lane or grassy field, but newborns will always have my heart! I love being a mom, even on the most trying of days! I love being outdoors and making the absolute most of the time I have here on earth with my family and friends!

My husband is actually the one who bought me my very first point and shoot camera when I was around 18 which started my love for photography. I quickly upgraded to a Canon DSLR and decided to teach myself everything I could about photography. I am my own worst critic, I can fill myself full of self-doubt, but with the support from family and friends I officially started my photography business in 2008! It started out as a part time gig, until the fall of 2017 after having my third baby. I knew with everything in me that I just wanted to be their MOM and full-time photographer! So, I gave up my home daycare to pursue this dream full time and have not regretted that decision once! I absolutely love being my own boss, doing something that I love all while still being so available to my family!

When I first started this business, I photographed everything from bumps, to babies, to weddings. I eventually found my niche and learned to focus my career on what makes my heart happy and allows me flexibility with my family! So, I now specialize in maternity, newborn and family photography. Being a wife and mother myself, my desire is to capture the same fleeting moments for you that I would also cherish for myself. My sessions are meant to be relaxed and fun! You have crazy kids? Don't worry, I do too! I can promise you that even if you walk away from your session sweating and thinking nothing turned out, it actually did! It's the simple things, the energetic crazy kid that will probably win my heart over! I know all too well how fast life goes by, we all have our own story to tell and I would love to follow along and be your story teller! It has been a blessing to build so many new relationships with my clients over the years, getting to watch their families grow, to be a part of each milestone is what brings me the most joy about my job! My hope is to give my clients photographs to treasure for years to come!

Thank you for taking the time to consider me as your family photographer, I look forward to working with you!
