When I first started my photography journey there was a lot of similar family education and a plethora of couples / wedding education. I quickly found that I couldn’t transfer mountain and beach sessions to the Midwest landscape and instead leaned into the connections and emotions of my clients. Making the session about them - their traditions, their unique connections, and the details that made them individuals as well as a beautiful family unit. I now love to teach other photographers to let go of the need for curated scenery _ outfits and take a relaxed and intentional approach to documenting families.

I also firmly believe in working smarter not harder when it comes to your business. I’m midwest down-to-earth nice, there is never a dumb question, and I’m far from a know-it-all. I’m both a technical shooter as well as laid-back. I’m always learning and evolving my business to help other creatives and accommodate out quickly changing family life.
