Photography has always helped me connect more deeply and fully with people. I get to spend time with old and new friends while they feel vulnerable in front of the camera and make it a more personal, relaxing experience. I want everyone to look back at photos of themselves and remember how good they felt about themselves in that moment.

Brenda and I met awhile ago when we worked together in Illinois. I looked forward to being scheduled together because Brenda always has amazing jokes and such beautiful energy to be around. We haven't seen each other much since we live in different states now, but I know that Brenda has grown so much as she's become an incredible mother to her first daughter. Taking these photos for her was wonderful. We spent time together taking these beautiful pictures helping her feel like the empowered person and mom she is.

I’ve been taking photos for Haley and Tinley for a few years. Haley is always on board for new photos of her and her daughter. Haley has been through all the ups and downs of life over the past 2 years, but the most important thing to her is Tinley. I’m always inspired by Haley’s devotion to preserving memories of her and her daughter. I’ve done at least 5 sessions for them and Haley always has matching outfits and shoes. Haley always says “ we do whatever Tinley wants to”

The way she means this though isn’t by letting Tinley be spoiled, she means that if she gets off her night shift as a nurse and has the day open to spend with Tinley and Tinley wants to go swim at the lake, they do it. Tinley teaches Haley to do spontaneous and fun things just because. I love the way they lead their lives and get through all the tough times of being a single mom. It makes me so happy after I deliver a photo gallery to her and I get a text saying they’re her favorite photos ever.

Every moment in life is the most important. That concept is amplified when someone has a baby since they’re physically changing so quickly and obviously. It’s such a good metaphor for embracing the present moment and treating every day like it’s a celebration- because. it is <3
