My family’s legacy inspired it all
After nearly a decade of photographing families, couples and children in an outdoor, casual style, I found myself more than ready for a new creative challenge. While digging through a box of old family photographs, I came across my dad's vignetted portraits from 1957. I couldn't help but feel an immediate sense of connection to the timeless black & white style. I've brought this classic portraiture into our modern age and the reception has been tremendous!
This timeless style of capturing little ones is resonating with parents, grandparents and families in a completely new, but familiar, way. I've been blown away by how fun and meaningful this change in my work has been.
What I love most about photography is the connection it allows me to create with each and every client. My true calling is connecting with others and I love how this work allows me to collaborate with you to create a tangible legacy for your family.

You are a joy and I love that you specialize in only heirloom portraits - sessions with you are calmly focused and never overwhelming. You provide a single type of timeless images for us to treasure. It is beyond helpful that you seamlessly handle the photos, printing and even custom framing. I can’t wait to work with you again when baby #2 arrives!
