About the Photographer
My goal with photography is simple: I aim to thoughtfully create sessions that are simple, relaxed, and true to you.
Helping individuals and families feel comfortable in front of the camera is something I care deeply about. Creating a calm, easy experience is just as important to me as the final images.
I live in Midway, Utah with my husband and our three sons (19, 17, and 13). After many years living in my hometown of Chicago, we moved west for more space, more time together, and a life spent outdoors. Our family is very involved volunteering with NICA + our kids' cross-country mountain bike team (Go Wasatch!). We also spend a lot of time on the pickleball court and love to downhill ski and snowshoe.
As our oldest has started college and heads off into adulthood, I’ve become even more aware of how quickly seasons change, and how powerful it is to have photographs that hold those moments. That perspective shapes the way I photograph families today.
If you’d like to learn more about working together, I’d love to connect - reach out via the contact page, text, or feel free to give me a call. I look forward to hearing from you!
