Who are you hiring?

It gives me so much joy to take your photos! I love that images freeze the special moments in our lives; bringing us straight back to whatever season we were in and allowing us to soak up all the good feelings of love, joy, confidence, and contentment.

Becoming a photographer was a bit of a surprise career for me! I started professional photography in August of 2019, but my background is in Counseling Psychology and Higher Education. Once I had kids, returning to an 8-5 job as an academic advisor was no longer that appealing, so I decided to carve my own path. I have always loved taking photos - capturing moments, details and celebrations. I also am a HUGE people person - I get all my energy from being around people, fostering relationships, and building others up!

I spent a few years as a new mom a bit lost and untethered to anything. When my close friend passed away unexpectedly the summer of 2019, I knew I didn’t want to waste any more time questioning what was next.

I wanted to have a fun job where I could create art, experience joy, stay challenged and make new friends. Photography fits all of that and more! Six years later and I couldn’t feel more grateful for taking this leap of faith and having you choose me to help tell your story. As a business owner, I do not shy away from my beliefs - communities that have been oppressed matter and I will always work to make sure that my space is safe for everyone! Every story is worthy of being shared and celebrated. No matter who you love or what you look like or where you come from, you are worthy of being photographed and having images to cherish. My editing and photography style will reflect your true skin color!

When I am not taking your photos, I am a full-time mom. I spend a lot of time cooking and carting my kids around to school and sports. We recently bought property in Snohomish and it has been so fun to lay down roots in this city. You may see me with my laptop editing or reading at a coffee shop in downtown Snohomish or walking my red golden retriever, Maizey. As a family, we also love to camp, paddle board, go to the movies, play games, and go on adventures in the beautiful PNW!

In 2024, I was nominated and awarded Best Photographer of Snohomish County for my inclusive, colorful and joy-filled photography business. It is such an honor to be known as a photographer you can trust to capture your life.

Thank you for being here! I want to know your story and share a little of my love and joy with you during our session and through my images.
