Going on 9 years as a mom, it’s fair to say I’ve been obssessed with photography at least that long. I’m the mom who takes pictures of every tiny little activity my kids do. I feel compelled to record the moments I know will never come back, and I will likely forget.

Enjoying photography as a professional happened almost by accident when a friend and I decided to learn studio photography as a distraction from another cold, dark Alaskan winter ahead of us. Just before moving to Michigan I fell in absolute love with natural light photography.

I’m deeply sentimental, and a sucker for nostalgia. As a child in rural Colorado I was lucky to have every opportunity to be creative and adventurous. I still find inspiration all around me; from the solitude of nature to the activity of the urban street. This inspiration is the fiber of my work.

Being able to put my creativity and heart into both motherhood and photography is something I am grateful for every day.
