My What + My Why

My childhood dream was to grow up and become an artist.  Well....dreams do come true as I've been a pencil portrait artist for more than a decade with my drawings hanging in homes all over the world.  When I picked up a camera, 10 years ago, I naturally infused my love for art into my photography.  I don't want to just take a picture, I want to create captivating images that evoke emotion and tell a story.  

After becoming a mother of 4, and two sets of twins, it was important to me to remind my children that they were not only special because they were twins but because they were unique all on their own.  Growing up I was 1 of 4 kids.  I was a shy, quiet little girl in a large, loud family and I often felt unheard and unnoticed.  The only images that hung in our home were those posed group photos with matching outfit and forced smiles.  So when I decided to start my photography business I knew I wanted to help children feel noticed and special while giving families artful images to decorate the walls in their homes.  I believe when you walk into a home the walls should whisper your family's story.

Here's my crazy crew! I look forward to getting to know you and your family.
