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. 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!

In the fall of 2021, we welcomed our first baby, Fitz! After a long journey with infertility, and ultimately IVF, we were so thrilled to bring our baby boy into the world. Becoming a mother has given me even more love, joy and admiration for the families I document! I love being able to bring this perspective and understanding to my sessions. Now more than ever I appreciate the power of photography to capture moments and make memories last!

You can read more about our fertility journey here + Fitz’s birth story here! Be sure to follow along on Instagram if you’d like to see more of my daily life as a mama + photographer! 

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.

Thank you to my talented friend, Jenn,  for our amazing family photos!
