I started this journey with overwhelming excitement ...and a teeny tiny bit of fear!

I take in everything; gather inspiration from everywhere, and love exploring what life has to offer.

I am driven & quirky. I like to be unique in all aspects of my life... I strongly believe that different is good!

My style is "Lifestyle meets Modern Portraiture".

I adore "People pictures", and always up for Photographing all forms of Love, in a non-traditional, & "non-posey" sort of way!

I strive for my Photographic experience to be organic, lively, & captivating. An enjoyable time together, producing timeless & true imagery.

This year marks my 13th year in business, specializing in Wedding Photography. 

My zest for Weddings is closely followed by my excitement of capturing Lifestyle Family & Birth stories.

2019 was a big year - We have built our forever home, added a studio space fit for photoshoots, client meet-ups, classes and all of this surrounded by beauty! We call this new spot "Maison Noire"... visit us and see why!

I am eager to capture life as it happens, through my lens...

 "Let's take pictures!"
