It's me, your prospective keeper of memories. I am a self taught photographer who has been documenting life's big & small moments for as long as I can remember. My journey started by me never wanting to miss a moment. Growing up my grandma always had one of the store bought Kodak film cameras in hand. Ya know, the type where you had to take the film to CVS to get developed, & then wait to see the final product. Because of her I have countless childhood memories documented forever. Family holidays are often spent sifting through the boxes upon boxes of Kodak prints. Although I am sad she is behind the camera in most of them (instead of in front), I now find myself making up for that time by capturing every big and small moment in my families life. I am now a mom myself, which was what ignited the need within me to pursue photography. My daughter was my first model, and is now no stranger to posing for a camera. In 2022 right before she was born I invested in my first DSLR high tech camera. I went from knowing essentially nothing, to logging into good old YouTube University to teach myself everything there is to know. Now, while I don't exactly feel like a "pro" sometimes, I am confident in my craft and my ability to produce raw, emotion filled images for my clients. Candids are my love language so you'll be sure to find a ton in your gallery. What makes me different from other photographers is I truly care about my families & couples. I spend hours upon hours preparing to make sure your session is uniquely tailored to you. No family is the same, so why should your photos be?

When I am not behind the camera I am probably cleaning up snacks off the floor. Being a Mom is my first, and most important job. My 3 year old daughter is about to become a big sister so our world is about to get a whole lot more exciting (January 2025). I consider myself to be fairly active. I enjoy playing softball whenever I get a free weekend or weekday night, as well as hitting the court for a basketball game. In the winter my husband and I enjoy snowboarding and trying new restaurants. I'm still on a mission to decide who has the best espresso martini in Litchfield county (open to suggestions ;)) I'm not really a homebody which has made photography an amazing profession for me. If any of this resonated with you, feel free to reach out to learn more about how I can service you and your family today <3
