When the everyday moments combine with a look into my camera, there is nothing that can beat that happiness!! Every session becomes playtime and an experience to have the type of moments I have with my boys, the ones I want to cherish.

It doesn’t matter if it’s on your cell phone or a family portrait session, just as long as you capture the time together!

I definitely don’t specialize in newborn photography, there’s plenty of amazing photographers that do! But when I have the opportunity to capture a few of these precious moments whether for friends or family I enjoy every moment.

Graduating is definitely about the next steps in life, moving onto another school, starting a job but it’s also about celebrating the path that lead you there. Capturing the transition and everything that got you there!

Cherishing the moments before it all begins, whether your first, second or fifth!

This is another area that I like to leave up to the extraordinary wedding photographers who specialize in getting to know couples before the big day! On occasion I will shoot an engagement session and always make sure that we get our practice smiles in for the big day!

This section is dedicated to my pup who passed away in December of 2020 at 14.5 years old, pictured gracefully running through the snow here! She’s followed up by our two NEWEST additions to the family shelter rescues Gobi & Dez! Twin boys for my twin boys. Truly an unconditional love that they give us, I treasure every moment I get to capture with them!

When you love taking photos and a moment presents itself, a camera is always at the ready.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to pick just one favorite. So here are a few VERY random favorites of mine!
