Based in Saratoga Springs and serving Utah County through Salt Lake, I’m a newborn and family photographer who is equal parts sincere and jokey.



I can swaddle a baby to perfection, entertain a wild toddler, and break down the best bulk buys at Costco all at the same time.


While editing I'm typically watching The Great British Bake Off... And putting my littles back in bed for the 10,000th time in between edits... And pretending like I'm not eating the Goldfish that I 'bought for the kids'.


Trading my finance career for a camera was the best decision I ever made. There is quite literally nothing in the world I’d rather do than snuggle, pose, and document your sweet babies!


For my photographer friends who are wondering... I shoot on a Sony A7IV. I use my 35mm F/1.8 90% of the time, but will break out my 50mm + 85mm lenses when the occasion calls for it. I use a high-CRI light panel wall and a Godox SL60W continuous light for all of my home studio sessions!



 

a little bit about me

 

A woman in a black dress lifts a baby overhead against a soft arched gray background.

Any biography sounds instantly polished once you drop in a few choice credentials, so here goes:


I am an award-winning connoisseur of fudgy brownies, Costco runs, and Cocomelon. Clients frequently praise my distinguished ability to capture breathtaking candid moments while simultaneously tripping over my own camera bag. I am a decorated patron of local drive-thrus, an uncompromising orange juice snob, and a surprisingly graceful hiker who isn’t above going potty in the great outdoors.


Oh, and I also happen to hold a degree in Accounting- though trading spreadsheets for baby snuggles was easily the best career decision I’ve ever made.
