Let's start at the very beginning...


A very good place to start. I'm the little lady behind the lens! I'm only 5ft tall...legit a little lady. 😆 I was born and raised a classic Midwestern Kansas girl. I love Jesus, a STRONG cup of coffee, and some quality Ranch Dressing with my chicken nuggets. I'm an Army Wife honored to love the greatest man I know (I am biased though 😉 ). Together we are raising three wild at heart littles and the most genuine golden retriever there ever was. They keep me on my toes and inspire me to live in the present moment every day. It's all thanks to them that my desire to dive into photography took root!


After becoming a mother, I quickly realized how precious every moment is. Whether it be a big developmental milestone or simply watching your child enjoy spaghetti for the first time, each moment matters! So I figured I'd learn how to make sure I was able to document each one of those moments.


After 8-years of serving as an Active Duty Army Officer, in the Summer of 2024, my husband transitioned into the Army Reserve allowing our family to be permanently stationed in the Kansas City Area! Now we live only minutes away from my entire immediate family and only a few hours away from his family. Aka...cousin time is all the hype and our hearts are OH so happy!


Being a Military Wife and family has allowed us to experience the rollercoaster of a lifetime. We have moved many many times, spent extended periods of time apart, learned to rely heavily on Our Lord, and ultimately come to appreciate every minute we have together. If you can at all relate and are searching for someone to help you fill your home with whimsical moments in time...I'm your gal!
