I was living in Australia when I turned 21 and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate that milestone than feeling the rush of skydiving. We climbed to 14,000 feet as we gracefully skimmed the coast of Torquay Beach. When they opened the door and the wind whipped across my face, the thrill of it all suddenly hit. Leaving all sanity behind, we leapt from the plane plummeting towards the earth

below. I thought I was going to have to forcibly keep my eyes open, but to my surprise I couldn’t close my eyes as I laughed and screamed hysterically the whole way down. Today I am able to look at my photos from that day and my heart still skips a beat thinking of the pure rush that was skydiving. That ability to relive that moment every time I look at the photos is one of the reasons I love photography so much. I want to give that gift to all those I capture on film. Whether it’s remembering a rush, a heartfelt moment, or always being able to look back and see what your babies looked like when they were first born. To me, that is the magic of photography.

As a mom who has an almost 10 year old (😢) who still loves her “lovie”, it heartens me deeply to see other children who are the same with theirs. Please always feel free to bring them to your shoot. It’s such a pure love and deserves to be captured.





























Always love it when grandparents get to join in the fun. 😍

I’m often asked if a sibling can join in someone’s senior portraits. And of course the answer is always yes! Often it’s the final sibling portrait they will have while living under the same roof 😭, so of course bring them! And I love hearing all the sibling stories from over the years too!
