As a wife and mother of two, I deeply appreciate the significance of preserving memories that will be treasured for generations. In 2012, I embarked on a journey to fulfill this passion by establishing my home photography studio. Over the years, my studio has evolved, finding its current home on North Lamar.

My journey in photography has been enriched by a solid foundation. I hold both a Certified Digital Assistant and Certified Photographic Artist degrees from Austin Community College's Department of Professional Photography. Furthermore, I am honored to be a part of esteemed professional photography organizations such as the Professional Photographers of America, Texas Professional Photographers Association, and Austin Professional Photographers Association. My dedication to excellence has been recognized with the prestigious Certified Professional Photographer designation. In 2021, I was humbled to receive the title of Master Photographer from the Professional Photographers of America.

In my studio, my commitment is to celebrate the joy and love that come with growing families. I am driven to capture the essence of each moment, enabling you to relive these cherished memories for years to come. Whether you're embarking on the journey of motherhood or you're a seasoned parent, I am here to guide you in documenting your family's unique story through the artistry of photography.

My specialization lies in capturing the beauty of maternity, birth, newborns, and the precious milestones of a baby's first year and beyond. Your family's journey is a remarkable story, and I am dedicated to preserving it with the highest quality photography. 

I've mentored with some of the biggest names in the Maternity Portraiture Genre and continue to expand my knowledge of the craft.
