Sit tight, listen up, it’s time to be R.E.A.L
Sometimes my job asks me to hold two truths at the same time:
I pour my whole heart into preserving your memories—so your babies remember the way their dad laughed in the kitchen, the way mom’s hands fit just right around tiny shoulders, the way this season felt. That is holy work to me.
And I’m also a wife and a mom who doesn’t want to miss my own story while I’m busy telling everyone else’s.

This work is a gift. I’m grateful—truly—for the clients who trust me, and for the many of you who get it. You see the hours on both sides of the camera, the care in the details, the way life can throw curveballs (sick kids, rescheduled plans, real life being real). Thank you for meeting me with grace.
Here’s the honest part I don’t say enough:
• I won’t trade my kids’ once-only moments for a same-night gallery.
• I won’t rush art that deserves to breathe just so it can be “instant.”
• I won’t choose flawless/fast over honest/lasting.

If you’re here, I think you feel that too.

There is a tension in this season. If I sprint for turnarounds, I feel like I’m letting my family down. If I choose presence at home, a few will feel let down by timelines. I’m learning that doing both perfectly doesn’t exist. We don’t clock out of motherhood—or of small business. We just keep choosing with intention.

So this is my promise:
• I will show up with my whole heart to tell your story, thoughtfully and well.
• I will communicate timelines clearly and keep you updated if life happens.
• I will keep boundaries that let me be a present Mom, business owner, director of Faith
and a sustainable artist—so I can keep serving you for years, not months.

If you’ve waited an extra day (or week) while I sat in a gym bleacher, rocked a feverish kid, or watched a sunset without my camera—thank you. Those pauses help me create from a place of wholeness, not hurry.

To my clients: I see you. I want you to have the photographs you’ll cherish forever.
To my fellow creatives: if you’re carrying this same tug-of-war, you’re not alone.
To my family: you are my why.
Here’s to slower, truer, worth-the-wait. I will always be real. I’m glad you’re here!🖤

There’s something full-circle about moments like this.
I remember Garrett around the age Adam is now — and it’s wild to see how much of his dad lives in him. The big personality, the quick wit, the old-soul sayings that make you stop and smile.

On the way to their session, Adam snuck a fake cockroach into my hood (because of course he did 😂). Mischievous and lighthearted one moment, sweet and thoughtful the next!

There’s a certain kind of magic in photographing families like this — where the laughter comes easy, the love runs deep, and you can see the stories repeating themselves in new generations. Same heart, just smaller boots. 🤎

Congratulations to this beautiful family on their newest addition! 🤍

There’s something timeless about the way the light wraps around two people who are completely lost in their own little world. The quiet in-between moments — the nose-to-nose smiles, the gentle laughs, the warmth that lingers long after the sun dips below the trees — that’s where the real story lives.

Here’s to love that feels like this. 💛

✨ Life Update ✨

Every season brings new chapters—some I’ve planned, some that have surprised me, and some that have stretched me in ways I never expected. But through it all, one thing remains close to my heart: living fearlessly, leaning into faith, and capturing the authentic, real moments that tell our stories.

I spend so much time behind the lens, cheering on others, documenting their milestones, and telling their truths—that I sometimes forget the importance of being present in my story, too.

Life lately has been full of growth—personally, in business, and in the messy, beautiful middle where real life happens. One of the biggest blessings has been stepping into a new role. I started serving as the Director of Faith Formation and Youth Ministry for our Holy Area Family Parishes back in July. I serve the three Parishes of St. Andrew in Granite Falls, St. Joseph in Montevideo, and St. James in Dawson.

Although my schedule may look a little different moving forward, you’ll still find me right where I love to be—behind the lens, capturing stories through my camera, and preserving the moments that matter most.

So here’s to this new season. To creating, to connecting, and to fearlessly capturing every story that deserves to be remembered.

📸 Thanks for following along on this journey—I can’t wait to keep sharing the heart and hustle that goes into it all.

✨ Family + Fall = Pure Magic ✨

Busy season is officially in full swing, and I couldn’t be more excited! 🙌 My evenings are filled with capturing sweet families like this one, editing late into the night, and sending out so many beautiful galleries in the coming days. 📸✨

This season is all about freezing those little moments—giggles in the grass, the way siblings squeeze together for a photo, and the love that shines through every frame. 💛

Thank you to every family who trusts me with your memories—your galleries are coming your way soon, and I can’t wait for you to see them!

✨ Engaged & glowing ✨

Getting to spend time with these two was such a joy—the love they share is so effortless, genuine, and contagious. You can’t help but smile just being around them. 💕

And honestly… their connection is so magnetic that even the 12,000 mosquitoes couldn’t resist hanging out with us that night. 🦟😂

Forever grateful I get to capture love stories like this—moments full of laughter, tenderness, and a little bit of chaos. 🫶

✨ Love, laughter, and a little bit of country magic ✨

From giggles in the cornfield to stolen kisses in the barn, this session was everything I love about storytelling through photos — authentic, joy-filled, and timeless. 💛

It’s not just about capturing faces; it’s about preserving the connections, the love, and the little moments that will be treasured for years to come.
