my story..

this is me! usually found with this smile on my face + heavily caffeinated.

born + raised on the prairies where i currently reside with my husband + our high-maintenance fur baby, Dia! when i'm not behind my camera i am behind my desk at my family's business.

my love for photography + photos has been with me my entire life but it wasn't until i hit the shutter button on a DSLR camera for the first-time that something changed for me. i knew this was something i needed more of in my life. the sound, the feeling + the moment it captured is still vivid in my mind.

as the years pass in life you find the importance of finding + remembering the small moments that make you smile. not the cheesy look into the camera type of smile, but the genuine smiles you cast to your loved one when only you two know exactly why you are smiling. this is what i will deliver as your photographer.

my goal is to capture beautiful + genuine moments for you. i am a strong believer that images should not live on smart phones + hard drives but rather be printed + displayed all over your homes for you + your loved ones to enjoy.

i am always learning + love a new challenge. if you think we would be a good fit or have an idea for a session i would love to chat over a cup of coffee or glass of wine.
