Hey, friends! I'm so glad you're hanging in my little corner of the internet. I've had a camera in my hand since childhood, but my love for it grew exponentially in 2020. I started my business five years ago and motherhood has now deepened everything for me. Every minute feels heavier. I notice more, my eyes feel sharper, my heart is more tuned in, and I feel the value of photos in my bones. I know what it feels like to want to cradle these moments, hold on longer, and remember it all.
I'm a kid at heart, but I have an old soul. I love my fur babies and my little girl so much it hurts. I'm an auntie times six and it's totally awesome. Child-led sessions are my secret sauce and will quickly become your new favorite thing about photos. I help mommas focus less on perfection and more on presence. Work with me and we will most certainly bust out a few dance moves and even more laughs. But, hey! The kids will burn off more energy and the goofy smiles will be plentiful! :)

who my clients are...
i'm crazy about ya!
My best friend and better half is my sweet hubby, Charlie. He loves being a girl dad, hiking, trying new restaurants and breweries, going to concerts, is very musical himself, and I believe he could build just about anything. He built us a gorgeous dining room table I adore. He is also really into film photography right now. How fun!

These are our two beautiful dogs. Ella is my first fur child and she's a mix I rescued from a shelter when I was in college. She is the most well behaved and sweetest dog ever. Sampson (Sam for short) is our super goofy, super loving Golden Retriever. He's just a big baby who loves cuddling and swimming at the lake. These two are my whole world.
Ella & Sam
This is our furry beast, Monte. He acts more like a dog than a cat. He's a Maine Coon who has 7 toes on both front paws. I love him, but we have a love-hate relationship. I'm pretty sure he has been plotting my demise since day one! On the other hand, he LOVES my husband and my mother. I'm convinced he has everyone fooled!

"Photography is a way of feeling, touching, of loving. What you capture is forever- it remembers little things long after you have forgotten everything."

"Sweet friend, I'm sitting here just pouring over these! They're SO GOOD! You're amazing."
Our photos are incredible!
Intimacy is EVERYTHING when it comes to capturing memories you can feel. Get to know me a little more intimately...
I was raised on
I often get most of my busy work days and to do lists done by jamming to 90s country. Shania Twain is usually on repeat. I'd say my alter ego is wearing my cowgirl boots, maybe even a cowgirl hat, with a good beer in hand dancing my little heart out. You bet we played some Shania and a TON of 80s music at our wedding. We danced the night away and I even get to see Shania in concert this year. I will probably cry tons of happy tears and leave without a voice.

I also love
I masterfully played them so much on my husbands Spotify account (I don't have my own acct) last year that they made it on his Spotify wrapped list! I'm still laughing about it! I love a lot of music, especially pop or anything I can dance too, but they were my most played while we were doing home renovations and I was painting every room in the house. Their music kept me sane. You bet if I can ever get my hands on tickets to a reunion tour I will be going!

I beleive you should
I grew up in the kitchen watching both my mom and granny cooking. I learned a lot from them and I ALWAYS licked the spoon! Now, that has taken on an entirely new meaning for me. Taking risks like "licking the spoon" has taught me to have trust, confidence, and persistence. So by gosh, lick the spoon friends! You only live once and I know you want to lick the brownie batter if nothing else. Don't kid yourself!
lick the spoon!

top 3 movies I could watch
Oh my goodness I love movies. Rom-Coms are probably my favorite. My top 3 movies I will never get tired of watching are How To Loose A Guy In 10 Days, Bridesmaids, and The Proposal. My favorite "chick-flick" is The Notebook. I also caught up on the new Spiderman movies recently and I'm a big fan. Also, did anyone else cry during the new Guardians of the Galaxy because I did. I'm a big couch potato so if you ever need Netflix or Amazon Prime recommendations, let me know. I got you!

i have a dream to
I'm dreaming of the day that we can fully embrace slow living on a big farm full of animals, kids running around playing in the dirt, and growing our own food. I can't think of much else that sounds more perfect. I want to start my mornings slow on a wrap around porch watching the sun rise and set with the ones I love. A girl can dream can't she?! I took this pic while visiting Vermont. TAKE ME BACK!

quote to live by
I was a dancer in high school and still love dancing to this day. It's a great outlet for me to destress and it's also just a part of who I am. One of the things I do all the time is make up my own obnoxious dance moves to make my husband laugh. I'm really good at being embarrassing! haha Find your people and dance through life. I preach "living in the moment" to my clients all the time and I mean it! Life is too short my friend. Dance, sing. laugh, and live in the moment because it will be gone too quick.
dance like no one's watching

The butterfly
in my logo
Choosing to have my name represent my business was an easy decision as I built my brand around values already important to me. When I was choosing a logo that would represent my business name, the same thing kept coming to mind- the butterfly. Like the butterfly, we all go through different stages in life. Each one magnificent in its own way.
I thought to myself, perhaps the butterfly is proof that we should concentrate less on perfection and more on embracing the simplicity in the here and now. Blessed are those that see beautiful things in humble places where others may see nothing.
Becoming a mom has certainly made me realize how delightfully representative the butterfly truly is as we evolve into our best selves in motherhood. We become more resilient, more tender, and more intentional with all that we do. How beautiful it is to see all the blessings we used to pray for scattered all around us now.
You might also find it coincidental that I compare myself to being a little butterfly fluttering around as you love on your humans while taking your photos. Intentional? Yes. Magical and fun? Also, yes!
