Mom to 5, married to a cute farmer, and thankful for a creative outlet. In each photo session I hope to showcase the beauty and dignity found in each human person.

What can you expect?
I combine intentional, flattering poses with authentic, candid moments, focusing on movement and expression to bring each image to life.
That said, I will guide you through simple "tricks of the trade" poses so that you won't need to worry about what to do in front of the camera to look your best! Your finished gallery will include standard "looking at the camera and smiling" photos (oftentimes those are the ones we print and hang on the wall!) as well candid, playful shots.
I've found that love radiates through the lens. If you are at ease and enjoying the session, it will show! <-- (you can count on me to be your hype girl, helping to make this happen!)

+ You will receive 50+ digital images from our session, to use as you'd like (print, post digitally) --the choice is yours.
+ Enjoy our scenic family farm for your backdrop! We will work together to choose the perfect setting for your photos. Choose from old barns, hazelnut orchards, sloping pear orchards, a sweet little pond, grassy foliage, and more. Most of the images from my portfolio are shot on our farm.
+ Up to three outfit changes usually work best, with about three different locations/backdrops.
+ We will discuss your vision for the session, and I'd love to see some of your favorite senior photos you've come across to better create photos that you will LOVE.
