About Me

I am a wife, full time homeschooling mama, adventure seeker, and chocolate lover! I was born in Chicago, raised in Detroit, and currently living my best life here in Toledo.

My “WHY” is deeply rooted in my own motherhood experience. My third child, who medically needed to be delivered at 30 weeks, arrived at only 1lb 14oz. I learned a lot from the weeks we spent in the NICU, and I proudly rock my “NICU Mom” shirt on a regular basis. That difficult time taught me compassion, gratitude, and instilled in me a deeper love for the small details of everyday life that often fade with time. It brings me absolute joy to capture and preserve such tender memories for my clients to remember forever.

What am I doing when I am not behind the camera or homeschooling my gaggle of kids? I enjoy spending time with my blended family of 7, late night ice-cream treats, comedy movies, walks in the park, reading, traveling and donating my time at St. Vincent Mercy Health’s NICU, where I gift free portrait sessions to families with premature babies. I am also First Aid, CPR & AED certified with the American Red Cross.
