All about Your Photographer

Hello! I’m so glad you’re here! I am a maternity, newborn and lifestyle family photographer based in Seattle, Washington (but I love to travel!) My style is true-to-life, bright & cheerful. It is my absolutely joy to capture life’s milestones for my clients – from anniversaries to pregnancies, birthdays and beyond!

My husband, Kevin, & I met volunteering in New Orleans back in 2010. I was head over heels for the guy and we married in our college town of Charlottesville, Virginia four years later. We decided to start an epic adventure together and moved to the beautiful Pacific Northwest in 2012 and are loving every minute of it.

We can most likely be found hitting up a brewery in Ballard with our puppy, Lemon*, or cooking up a meal with How I Met Your Mother playing in the background. Travel has been a part of our relationship from the start and we love exploring cultures near and far. Kevin and I are avid Sounders fans, snowboarders & amateur car-campers.
