the one behind the lens...
I was born and raised here in Upstate New York. I'm married to my best friend, Nick—the kindest (and sexiest) man I know. We have a baby in Heaven, and a baby here on earth. We also have two dogs, Samson, our goofy Aussie-mix, and Belle, our incredibly spoiled long-haired dachshund. Our home is full of love, laughter, a bit of chaos, and a lot of dog hair (seriously).
​
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me spending quiet time with Jesus or soaking in the simple, everyday moments with my little family. It’s in those ordinary, unscripted moments where I feel the most joy.
My Story
My hubby and I got married in September of 2021. Shortly after, we experienced the unimaginable when I became pregnant with, and lost our son Luca, while I was 26 weeks along. Delivering our precious boy, and leaving the hospital without him, left me with an enormous amount of pain. I realized very quickly that I could either let that pain consume me, or I could channel it into something that might heal me. I began photographing mothers and their babies, finding solace in the beauty of their bonds and the reminder that my story wasn’t finished. That process helped me heal in ways I never expected.
My Purpose
In February 2024, I was blessed to give birth to our daughter, a beautiful baby girl, named Lakely. She has shown me the world through her eyes, revealing the magic in the everyday moments that often go unnoticed. Through her, I’ve learned to slow down and truly appreciate the wonder of life. Photography allows me to preserve that magic – to hold onto the beauty of a moment long after it has passed. It’s this magic that drives my passion for specializing in motherhood photography, and it’s an honor to capture these moments for other families.
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS
because little joys matter, too
Movie: Sweet Home Alabama - I still tease my husband with, “Why would you wanna marry me for anyhow?”... One of these days he'll pick up on my hint. Waiting for the moment he responds, "So I can kiss you anytime I want." (swooooon)
Hobby: Reading - give me a good book and a good coffee and I'm happy
Drink: Cream, with a little coffee. Don't judge me
Book: I usually prefer a psychological thriller or a good ol' CoHo novel (gotta stick to my guns, right?). But, I just finished the Fourth Wing series, and I’m officially obsessed. Doesn’t mean I’m switching genres full-time, though—let’s not get carried away
Artist: Anything by Brandon Lake, or Elevation Worship
Place: Disney World. I am an actual Disney adult, and fun fact, I'm also a MickeyTravels Disney Vacation Planner, too!​​
ENOUGH ABOUT ME,
