I live in stunning northern Idaho with my husband and three young children. I enjoy photographing my own family on a daily basis. Browse my Instagram page (linked below) for these daily life shots and a further look at my personal versus business photography style!

​

I have done family photography for about 7 years now, primarily lifestyle. This means my sessions are a mix of connection, silliness, laughter, and solemn moments. I specialize in getting all those shots--the individual portraits, the family Christmas card, the tiny baby details, and most importantly, the connection between everyone. No two sessions are ever the same, and every family brings something new. My main areas of focus are newborn, maternity, and family. Reach out for senior photos or other requests though!

My editing style is enhancing bold colors and contrast, creating and enhancing directional lighting and shading, all while remaining true to original skin tone. I value color, connection and clarity. I shoot multiple times of day to fit your schedule and attain a multitude of looks. I aim to not produce an over-edited look. My goal is to create timeless photos that will earn their place on your wall forever!

I have studied extensively in photography and editing both in college and on my own and I continue to do so to upgrade my skills. Please browse my work and reach out!
