What inspires me
- Your Story Will Be Different
Before I spent my days with a camera in hand, I was an elementary teacher. I have always loved learning, but nothing compared to the ambition I felt when I learned photography. I love making people feel seen and beautiful in their own skin. The best part of my job is meeting people at life-altering milestones in their life and truly celebrating with them.
When I’m not capturing others’ moments, you’ll find me creating my own with my husband, making sure our boys don’t grow up too fast.
-I am inspired by nature, music, art, thrifting, and raw human connection.
MY FAVorite THINGS
- Your Story Will Be Different
home is my happy place but traveling will always have my heart.
The prairie is my home but adventure will always have my heart. Ever since spending a month in Belize I have had a love for traveling and finding new places and chasing new sunsets. My husband and I traveled the country after getting married and are forever changed.
I never feel more like myself than when I am wandering around an old antique store with my airpods in.
I get so much inspiration from watching my kids play, spending time with my husband, and observing human connection.
This is just a small peek into my life and a few of my favourite things. No matter who and where we are, we’re all souls wandering this beautiful earth, with a different story to share. No tale is one and the same. And that’s why I LOVE documenting love stories.
