Every family session I get to photograph is special. I’m acutely aware that the images we create together have the potential to be seen for generations to come, and it’s always my goal to honor that. When the Smiths decided to have their family photos in Decatur, Alabama, I got to planning how we could […]

GET TO KNOW ME

As a mother of three, I know just how rapidly time passes and that the moments you so desperately want to hold onto quickly fade into memories. It's my passion to capture your season of life in a way that allows you to look back and remember exactly how it all felt - the way your newborn fit into the bend of your arm, your toddler's hand wrapped so easily in yours, and the way your family found joy in the chaos and the mundane. I hope to tell your story authentically and timelessly.

it's nice to meet you.
