from a young age...

... I was drawn to photography. I had a toy camera that I remember playing with and looking through the lens to see what looked good. I've always been drawn to creating, so photography was a natural step for me to take.

In 2011 I decided to take a leap and create my business. Very quickly I found that my path (and perhaps why I was put upon the earth) was to photograph and document newborns. I love the creativity that newborn sessions allow. The details. The moments. The freshness. I love that I get to freeze a moment of these little humans in time so their parents can remember them at the very beginning of their journey.

I'll admit... I also enjoy the snuggles.

I can't stress how important it is for me to see you get in the frame with your family... not only for you, but for others in the future.

What can I say I bloody love photography!
