I am a family lifestyle photographer in the Pacific Northwest

I am drawn to natural light, genuine connection, and storytelling through images. And I absolutely love photographing kids! Their emotions are raw, honest, and unfiltered, and when I capture those true moments with my camera, it makes my heart happy. With all of my work, my goal is to capture the real, in-between moments.

After 15 years in the healthcare tech industry, I left the corporate world to focus on my family and pursue photography more intentionally. I’ve shaped my skills through hands-on experience, creative projects, and coursework—including time at Mt. Hood Community College’s respected integrated photography program and several other online classes taught by amazing photographers around the world. That blend of structure and curiosity fuels the work I do today. I love to learn and try new things.

Outside of photography, you’ll find me exploring the Pacific Northwest with my family, walking our dog Bennett, or tending to my garden with a good podcast or book in my ears. I also love staying connected through volunteer work in my local community, especially at my kids’ school and other causes close to home.
