Here’s my life, in a few snapshots:

I have loved photography since I was a child. Going through old photographs is still one of my favorite pastimes. That is me on the left.

I married my wonderful husband Mike in 2008 on a beach in Mexico. I loved the pictures from the wedding so much, I decided to purchase my own camera and start experimenting with photos of my own.

I have a flop-eared dog named Roxy who is the inspiration for my logo.

After 21 years in North Carolina, we’ve returned to College Station, Texas.

I moved to North Carolina for grad school in the Duke genetics program and fell in love with the entire state – especially the mountains, so decided to stay for a while.

I defended my PhD in Genetics and had a baby in the same week. I’m proud of my PhD, but I love photography. I started my business in 2009 and after graduating in 2014, I made this my full time career. Photographing families and weddings is the perfect job for me.

I discovered early in my creative explorations that still life photos weren’t for me. I wanted to photograph movement – especially the wild and unpredictable movement of children and animals.

When families choose me to photograph special moments in their life, I feel honored and grateful. I want to return some of that gratitude by sharing my love for photography within the community.

Causes I have fundraised for and supported in the past include disaster relief, medical research, animal rescue, and children’s literacy. I have also supported our local schools and community theaters.
