About

I am an Ann Arbor, MI-based versatile photographer specializing in photos of families and children.

I studied journalism in college and have been a writer the entirety of my life. My creative-minded nature compels me to tell stories, and in 2008 I began telling visual stories through my newly rediscovered love of photography. I love being able to snap a photo and save forever a piece of history, and I feel empowered to share this part of myself with my friends, family and photo clients. I capture children as they are - messy, busy, sweaty - and I capture the sweet, silly and heartwarming moments worth remembering.

My photographical philosophy is simple: capture what is real. For this reason, I use minimal props, backdrops and composites. I instead try to capture the essence of the day in the photographs that can serve as forever keepsakes.

My favorite photo subjects are my husband, Patrick; our 2-year-old daughter, Azalea; and the member of our family who is the most photogenic of all: our sweet dog, Kya.
