LIFE STORIES I TELL

Rather than traditional posed “sessions,” I focus on the seasons and stories of life:

Family & Connection

The people who make your world feel like home—family reunions, generational portraits, and the everyday bond between the ones you love most. I especially love capturing the in-between moments that often go unnoticed: children baking in the kitchen with grandparents, laughter spilling out over shared meals, and the quiet comfort of simply being together.

Heritage & Culture

The traditions, roots, and stories that shape who you are—what is passed down, remembered, and carried forward. Family reunions, cultural celebrations, quinceañeras, milestone birthdays, and the rituals that bring generations together and keep your story alive.

Home & Everyday Life

I love to photograph “A Day in the Life” as it truly is—slow mornings, busy kitchens, backyard barbecues, picnics, a dad taking the kids fishing, horse chores and riding, a new baby settling in at home, and all the quiet, ordinary beauty of simply being together.

New Beginnings

Maternity, delivery, hospital “first 48” moments, newborn sessions, adoption, foster families, and the first fragile, beautiful chapters of becoming a family—however your story begins, and however it grows.

Hospice & End of Life

Gentle, respectful presence during life’s final chapter—honoring love, connection, and the sacredness of goodbye. Family visiting at the bedside, quiet conversations, a simple game of checkers, brushing your loved one’s hair, holding hands, and the small, tender moments that speak louder than words.

Remembrance

Preserving memory after loss—holding onto the stories, faces, and moments that deserve to be remembered. This includes the loss of a baby at any stage, including stillbirth and neonatal loss beginning at 22 weeks gestation and beyond, as well as other moments of profound family loss. Gentle, respectful images that honor love, acknowledge life, and provide families with something tangible to hold onto when memory feels too heavy to carry alone.
