I’m a wife, a mama, and a photographer based in Macomb, Illinois. I’m married to the love of my life, Chad, and we have two beautiful kids who mean everything to me. I have over 10 years of experience as a professional photographer, and believe I have the best job in the world!

Travel is one of my biggest sources of inspiration. Exploring new places with my family fuels my creativity and shapes the way I see and capture the world.

I studied Art Education at Western Illinois University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degree. My love for photography started early — I took my first class at just 13 years old and haven’t put the camera down since. My background in teaching helps me connect easily with people (especially kids), creating a relaxed, enjoyable experience. My foundation in art gives me a strong eye for lighting, composition, and the little details that turn moments into meaningful, lasting images.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me with my kids, out in nature, traveling, painting with oils or watercolors, editing photos with a record playing in the background, or getting lost in a good book.
