I have been fascinated by pregnancy, birth, and babies for as long as I can remember. When I was about 7 years old I remember my Aunt allowing me to hold my brand new cousin. I could have sat in that big couch holding him in amazement for hours. My love for photography started pretty young too. I spent summers as a kid dressing up my cousins and posing them around my grandma’s yard. The two things together is not only a love of mine but a passion. It is something that I’m called to do, and fills my cup.
I am a wife, and mommy with 3 kids of my own. When my first baby was born, I wanted to remember every detail because he was changing so quickly. I knew I wouldn’t be able to remember everything I wanted so I got my first “big girl” camera and haven’t looked back since.
I have a deep appreciation for iced coffee, country music, ice cream and all things cozy. Specifically super soft blankets, pillows and hoodies. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my family, crafting, walking, and visiting my grandma.
I am a registered nurse and have 8 years experience caring for newborns on the Birth Center at U of R Medical Center. Being a Registered Nurse helps immensely to tap into my knowledge and instinct of what the baby is feeling. I will never put them into positions they aren’t comfortable in. I also hired a newborn assistant with a background in early childhood education that keeps baby safe for the duration of their first photoshoot. The baby’s safety is always my top priority. I have taken multiple online workshops and an in person mentor-ship focusing on newborn posing, safety, and editing. I am constantly looking for learning opportunities and ways to improve my skills.
