MY STORY

I’ve been described by many as down to earth, fun, creative and handy (yes, I make & fix things). I’d like to think it’s all true! Ha! Although I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, every winter I question why I’m still here, and every summer I’m reminded once again why I love it. I’m an ambivert at my core; any chance to lay around in my cozies, I’ll take; but ask me to go skydiving right now and I’m there!

I’m a wife and mom of two performing a balancing act of raising children and working on my passion- photography.

I used to take pictures in an attempt to stop time—to hold on to memories, but I realized that I now want to create photographs not for the purpose of looking back onto “what was” but to celebrate the present and all the love, light and energy it encompasses. Looking back on your images should feel like you’re right back in that moment and I want those moments to be filled with all the warmth in the world.

A few of my favorite things:

• Butter pecan ice-cream (that sweet and salty goodness)

• Tulle anything (give me allll the whimsy)

• Sister Sister (never gets old)

• Summer rain (takes me back to my childhood)

Now that you know a little about me, let’s chat! Come celebrate your family with me!
