Preserving Family Legacies
CAPTURING YOUR TINIEST MOMENTS
I’ll be there with calm, kindness, and a whole lot of heart.
In 2021, we packed up our little crew and moved to Texas with two toddlers in tow. Now, we’ve got four wild and wonderful children, and we spend our days homeschooling, hunting down the best local parks (and tacos), and exploring anywhere we can find water and sunshine. And when I catch a rare quiet moment, you’ll find me in the kitchen… giving sourdough yet another chance. (She humbles me daily.)
Through every season, photography has been the thread that helps me slow down and see. And now, it’s how I help others do the same. Whether we’re capturing your baby’s squishy grin or a fleeting hug between siblings, I’ll be there with calm, kindness, and a whole lot of heart.
WHY IT MATTERS
I fell in love with photography in high school—long before I had any idea where it would lead.
Back then, I’d rope my sister and friends into modeling for me, turning our backyard into a “studio” and experimenting with light until dinner was on the table. I had no idea that those early moments of creative joy would one day lead me here—documenting the real, beautiful lives of families like yours.
The purpose behind the camera took on a whole new meaning when my husband and I had our first son, Liam. Suddenly, I didn’t just love photography—I needed it. I wanted to remember the way he looked at me. The feeling of holding his tiny body against mine. The ordinary days that felt anything but.

THROUGH THE YEARS
This life is FULL and AMAZING. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I can't believe I've gotten to see this little business grow from nothing, technically twice. All glory goes to Him who gifted me in the first place.

2021
We followed God's leadership to Texas, leaving our extended family behind. It was the hardest, yet most rewarding step of obedience. We've seen so much evidence of growth- both inward and outward- as we also added two new family members: Lydia and Haven!

Not long after, we started our little family welcoming Liam and the very next year, welcomed his little sister Hadley! I saw a whole new purpose behind photography in capturing these precious tiny memories of ours.

Patrick and I started our lives together, and he continued to encourage me to pursue photography as a career. He's always been my biggest supporter!

2016
At the time, my boyfriend (now husband), parents, and friends all encouraged me to start offering family sessions. With tons of courage and passion, I shot my first couple of family sessions and fell in LOVE.

2013
I've always loved to bake. Creating something with your hands that everyone can enjoy together is so bonding + satisfying! HOWEVER, baking as a mom has become a whole new challenge- especially this adventure that is sourdough! It loves to humble me and I love to keep trying.

My Favorite Things
I love the freedom to explore Houston, discover together, and watch their minds grow in real time. That moment of "oh I get it!" Or watching them start to really understand how to read... priceless! We've been homeschooling from the beginning, and I'm open to whatever door God may open for them, but for now I'm content even in the beautiful chaos it sometimes is.
homeschooling
Each time a new sibling is welcomed in, I've seen the older kids stretch and grow and learn a whole new family dynamic. It's amazing and beautiful to see them love on their new baby sister. How they want to protect her and teach her. It gives me confidence to tell any new mom who is nervous to add to her crew, you can do this! It's the most heart warming hard thing you'll ever do!
watching my family grow
We love going to new places, or revisiting favorite parks on the weekends together. These outings usually include iced coffee for mom and dad, a play ground or splash pad for the kids, and probably some tacos or ice cream. We're definitely foodie kind of people.
