Last but not least, our fur baby! She's the sweetest, hairiest and only other girl in our family, Annie girl, is an adorable golden retriever!! She is my alarm clock every morning, bright and early, excited to go outside! She gets A LOT of love in our house! Our favorite game to play with her is hide and seek, we're always left laughing our heads off because she's smart and if she hears a noise, her little head tilts to the side and then chases us around the house! I love dogs and it's always a blast when my clients bring their pets to sessions. They are a part of the family too!!

Being a photographer for the past 15 years has made it completely possible for me to be a stay home mom while creating my own set work schedule. We've been blessed with three adorable sons and 1 surprise daughter! You can bet that our house is really loud and wild most days, but being a Mama is THE BEST! I cherish the relationships with my children so deeply. Jon and I are so thankful that God has given us these 4 blessings to raise. And if I'm crying during your parent dances, know it's for two reasons, 1. The moment is beautiful and I'm so thankful to capture these moments between you and your parents, and 2. I know someday me and my husband will be watching each other dance with our son or daughter on their wedding day.

Without him, I wouldn’t have this joy and passion that keeps me going. I absolutely love meeting new people and enjoy investing time and growing friendships with our couples, families and other small businesses that I get the opportunity to work with. At this point in my life, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

I come from a very large family & love the chaos. [Which helps when photographing families with multiple kiddos or weddings where I've got to organize 20-40 people for family portraits!] I enjoy road trips with my family, date nights (we LOVE going to the movies or trying new restaurants ) painting, hiking and exploring little towns, bowling/putt putt with the kiddos, finding new coffee shops, binge watching shows, especially mysteries or family dramas like Heartland & Gilmore Girls. 

On May 4, 2014 I married my best friend and the man of my dreams! His name is Jon and he’s the most wonderful, selfless man I’ve ever met. I’m very thankful that I get to call him my Husband. Not to mention, Jon is a huge help when it comes to all things on the technical side of business, as it's not exactly my forte. He's done so much work on the back end of my website! Jon sometimes shoots with me on wedding days which always makes things fun! I’d say we make a pretty great team! We both truly believe in making time to date your spouse, during all the seasons of your marriage, it keeps things exciting and your love growing! That's advice that we will always share with our couples!

I owe all and any success I’ve had and will have in my business, to Jesus Christ!
