One day, your children—and their children—will thank you for stepping in front of the camera instead of staying behind it. I know this because it’s deeply personal for me. There’s an indescribable magic in being present, in preserving not just your baby’s fleeting littleness but also you—their first safe place, their everything.
My dream for your family is to fill your home with beautiful, timeless portraits that will become cherished heirlooms. Images that capture the love and connection you feel today, gracing your walls as a daily reminder of these precious moments.
In 20 years, when you walk by those portraits, you’ll remember everything—the softness of their skin, the sweet newborn scent, the tiny sounds they made, and the overwhelming feeling of holding them close for the very first time. That’s the gift I want to create for you—a way to relive the most beautiful chapter of your life, over and over again.
Why work with me?
Hey there!
I’m a SoCal native who fell in love with the Pacific Northwest and have called Washington home for over a decade. I live in the South Sound with my blended family and a heart full of gratitude for the journey that brought me here.
With over 20 years of experience as a retired doula and massage therapist, I bring a nurturing touch to everything I do—including capturing the littlest moments that mean the most. As a newborn photographer, I’m passionate about creating timeless memories of your precious baby’s early days.
But my creativity doesn’t stop there. I’m also a branding photographer, helping small to mid-sized business owners elevate their brands with stunning photos, cohesive websites, and marketing strategies that make a lasting impact. Babies and business owners? They’re my sweet spot.
I’m so honored you’re here! Take your time exploring, enjoying the articles crafted just for YOU, and soaking in the oxytocin-filled goodness of those baby photos.
