About Me
I’m a portrait photographer based in Manhattan, Kansas, with more than a decade of experience capturing the people and moments that matter most. From brand-new babies and growing families to milestones and senior year, I love documenting each season in a way that feels natural, meaningful and true to you.
As a mom myself, I know how quickly these seasons pass. My goal is to create a relaxed experience and beautiful, timeless photographs that bring you right back to the people, personalities and little details you never want to forget.
Why Newborn Photography Is So Special to Me
Newborn photography will always hold an especially meaningful place in my heart. After a seven-year infertility journey, welcoming my own baby gave me an even deeper appreciation for just how precious those first days are and how quickly they pass.
That experience inspired my love for newborn photography and the desire to preserve all those tiny details for other families. The sleepy stretches, little fingers and toes, and the way your baby fits so perfectly in your arms are moments that change before you know it.
It’s an honor to capture those first memories and create photographs families can hold onto long after those newborn days have passed.
Experience You Can Trust
I’ve spent years training in newborn photography, posing and safety so parents can feel confident placing their newest little love in my hands.
That same care carries into every session I photograph. Whether I’m working with a newborn, a busy family or a high school senior, I want you to feel comfortable, cared for and confident in front of my camera.
An Eye for the Details
Before photography became my focus, I spent more than 15 years working in graphic design. That background still influences the way I photograph today—from composition and color to all the little details that bring an image together.
A Little More About Me
When I’m not behind the camera, there’s a good chance you’ll find me at the gym or editing with an audiobook playing. I also love hunting for a great thrift-store find, adding another plant to my collection, spending time with my family, and enjoying an ice-cold Dr. Pepper.
I love getting to know the families I photograph, and one of my favorite parts of this job is watching them grow and welcoming them back in front of my camera year after year.
