I was raised in the Reno/Tahoe area and love this beautiful state. It's magical. The outdoors, the coffee shops, the cute indoor and outdoor entertainment any month of the year. There is always something to do and interesting people to meet.
While I have over a decade of professional photography experience, I became a mom in 2018 and something shifted in me. I realized I had an eye for what photos moms were drawn to. Images that tell a story… THEIR story. Motherhood is love and loss, heartache and joy… and I capture the intimate and beautiful images that portray a mother’s heart. Her beautiful presence in the lives of those she loves.
I started shooting and editing in a “motherhood” focus and got replies back like “HOPE!!! I can't believe this is me!!! It’s my HEART in a photo!!! I finally have photos I want to hang on my wall.”
Most work nights, you can find me editing and smiling ear-to-ear as I experience a session all over again, loving what we created together.
Your story matters, mama. I'd love to tell it for you.
Women were created to be beauty in this world... and most women would not describe themselves as beautiful. It's a tragedy that in our prime, we don't see it for what it is. When our season of motherhood arrives, with all it's raw vulnerabilities, it is even harder to put aside the comparisons and insecurities that we feel.
I encourage my clients to rage against those insecurities by embracing their femininity, leaning into their beauty and capturing the awe that their children and loved ones have for them in beautiful, dreamy images. I want photos on your walls that you can FEEL.
You are woman. You are beauty. You are resilience. You are irreplaceable.
Your place in your world needs to be told through images that take your breath away.
I am there to help you fully embrace all that is YOU. We aren't after perfection, we are chasing beauty right where you are. I give you the space to simply be with the ones you love and I help you create images you dream about by bridging the gaps between wardrobe, location, posing, and prompts. I have worked endlessly to create an experience that moms feel totally understood and supported through. Trust me, I know how hard it is to manage everything and worry about how you look through the process. Let me take things off your shoulder so we can get to the good stuff and create images you want to display for a lifetime.
Whether you imagine a gorgeous flowy dress or a casual look, all of it is worthy of freezing because THEY love you just as you are. They are the reason to push through and let go. The question is, will you believe it too?
