For as long as I can remember, I've always been an Artist.  My first art gallery made its debut in my mom's laundry room -- prime real estate, right?  Finger paintings and my first brush strokes on display right next to the dryer sheets.  

I fell in love with photography in particular when I was sixteen.  I knew right then, in high school photo class, that this needed to be a part of my story.  So now, I spend my days teaching some pretty awesome teenagers.  I teach them to chase the golden light, perfect their focus, and to capture genuine moments as they see them. Seeing their passion grow really fills my soul.  

In my 'spare time' you can find me watching way too much Fixer Upper, playing my little pony with a chatty toddler (while chasing a newly-mobile baby boy), and creating Pinterest boards for all of the home renovations my husband doesn't know he's doing yet (sorry, babe!)  

I love capturing the moment between poses, the interactions between families, the love in a new parent's (tired) eyes. The ability to freeze those moments, those memories, is what makes photography so special to me.

Thank you for the honor of illustrating your story.

When mama lets you smash cake all over her @restorationhardwareusa dining table, you take full advantage.
What better way to start Sunday then with two perfect little rainbow girls? 🌈 Not only were they absolute angels, but their names are two of my favorites ever. Meet Alice + Daisy.
Guess who’s going to see @hpplayus today?! I can’t hold back my excitement. HP & I have been buds since ‘98 and I’ve rapidly turned the pages of his story ever since. Best husband award goes to @mikecarrot (always) ⚡️
I don’t really shoot weddings, they’re not really my thing (gimme alllllll the babies). But I sure am a sucker for some good old fashioned love.
Mistakes. Sometimes they turn out just beautifully. Any of my photog friends thoroughly enjoy an occasional missed focus moment? 🙋🏻‍♀️
Nursery goals 🌸✨
Most exciting #kitchentablecakesmash to date. Landon went TO TOWN on this cake.
New 🏡, new 👶🏼. Do you guys remember this mama in her unfinished kitchen a few weeks ago?! I’ll post the before in stories!
#randomfactfriday! Not a thing? Oh well I’m going to tell you some anyway... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a new obsession with weaving. I’ve always wanted to learn.  This year created a station for it in my choice-based classroom. I had no idea I’d be hooked on it, but it’s so fun! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have an odd knowledge base of flower names. I learned a lot while planning our wedding and now have this useless skill of being able to name any flower you show me, sometimes I even know their seasons and color range too 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My bestie (hey, @lindsey_lengefeld ) moved to Florida when we were in 8th grade. We used to come up with secret plans to get her parents to move back to LI. We’ve officially been apart more of our friendship than together, but along with Mike, she is my soulmate and the person who can always set me straight. We’re going to see each other in 22 days (who’s counting?) and I. CAN. NOT. WAIT. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ok, your turn. Tell me something fun about you!
