Capturing sweet expressions

Fact 1


I have an identical twin sister who’s my best friend—I'm the sassy twin, obviously! Family is EVERYTHING to me. My kids are all grown up now, and watching them fly has been a mix of pride and me pretending I’m okay with them not needing me for EVERYTHING. I’ve got Emma (my daughter, who’s my social media & great photo assistant), Hashem (Emma's boyfriend who is my bonus son, he is amazing), and Evan (my son, who’s a data analytics wizard and world traveler). Mike is my husband, (he not only a photographer and media guy but the glue to our family). For us family is where the laughs—and the chaos—never end!

Fact 2


I’m a breast cancer survivor & advocate which has given me a deep passion for giving back. One of my favorite ways to do this is through my passion project, where I gift portrait sessions to cancer warriors, survivors, and thrivers. Whether they choose individual sessions or family portraits, I believe every day is precious, and I love capturing those memories that tell their powerful stories. It’s an honor to give back in such a meaningful way!

Fact 3


As a woman entrepreneur, I’ve always believed in the power of lifting each other up. My business is built on referrals, and that’s because I pour my heart into each session! I want every client to feel excited about their portrait experience and come back for more. My sessions are fun, personalized, and full of laughter—because that’s how I get my clients relaxed and their true personalities shine through in every shot. So, come ready to laugh and let your unique self shine!

Fact 4


I’m a proud dog mom to two fur babies—a hound I rescued and a pug that now has dementia. Yep! That's actually a thing. And honestly, I joke that I’m a human pug because, well, I’m short, stocky, and let’s just say, I too have my moments of trouble breathing... but hey, we all have our quirks, right? 😂
