I’m a coffee enthusiast, known bookworm, and proud overthinker who took a leap of faith in June 2020—leaving college at 19 to build this business in the middle of a global pandemic. By October 2021, I had also become a mother. Balancing those life-changing moments with a full-time job made prioritizing my dream a challenge, but my passion for creating timeless art made every sacrifice worth it.
Everyone deserves to be remembered. I’m the oldest of five kids, but I’m the only one with portraits hanging on the wall. It’s something I’ve thought about often—how does that make my siblings feel? Do they ever wonder why they don't have any portraits displayed the same way mine are? That question has stayed with me and is a big part of why I do what I do. Every person, no matter how old, deserves to be seen, valued, and remembered.
Think about your own childhood—how many photos do you truly treasure? Will your children have the pieces they need to tell your family’s story? If your answer isn’t a definite yes, then that’s where I come in 😉
Your perfect imperfections are what make you unique, and YOU DESERVE TO BE REMEMBERED—just as you are, right now. I’m here to help you create artwork that captures your essence and leaves a legacy for generations to come ✨
"A photograph is the pause button of life, and life is meant to be absolutely full of excitement and beauty!"
This is my wonderful, ever-growing family! Arianna (left) was born in October 2021 and has been lighting up my life ever since. She’s my mini-me, my muse, and my daily reminder to embrace the chaos in life—even when she keeps me on my toes! Oliver (right) joined us in January 2023, bringing a new level of delightful mischief and teaching me to appreciate life’s beautiful spontaneity. Watching them grow has deepened my love for preserving fleeting moments because now I know firsthand just how quickly time flies!
I’m endlessly grateful to my husband, Jonathon, who’s always there to help me find the rainbow after the storm. Parenthood, business ownership, and life itself each come with their own challenges, but having a strong, supportive partner makes all the difference in the world when trying to juggle them all at once! Without his unwavering support and optimism, I don't know where I'd be.
Alongside Arianna and Oliver, our family wouldn’t be complete without our two playful pups, Phoebe and Scooby. They bring boundless energy to our home, and fun fact—Scooby is actually Phoebe’s dad! So, they’re truly family, through and through. And yes, I absolutely welcome your four-legged friends during sessions!
Phoebe - Age 2 years
Scooby - Age 4 years
Family is everything to me, and most of my free time is spent playing games with loved ones—something that naturally helps me connect with kids during family sessions. I love cracking jokes and capturing those genuine, joy-filled smiles!
On a typical day, you’ll find me grabbing coffee from a cozy downtown café, getting lost in my TBR list (or re-reading Fourth Wing!), or wandering local shops in search of unique finds. When I’m home, I’m usually wrangling my two little ones—iced coffee in hand—while catching up on The 100, Bridgerton, or Game of Thrones, all while tackling daily chores or dreaming up my next creative project.
Even on my “days off,” I somehow end up back at my desk, drawn to the joy in those happy smiles as I edit. My editing style is LIVELY, vibrant, and true to color, preserving real emotions and personalities. I’m constantly inspired by unique perspectives and love collaborating on local passion projects throughout the year. Every family, and every individual has a story—and it’s my joy to create art that reflects your uniqueness, ready to be cherished and displayed for generations.
