My Superpower is Turning Your Messy into Magic.
As a parent, PTO President, and former childcare provider, I get motherhood. From feeling like you're doing too much and yet not enough, to finding your identity somewhere between "I am woman, hear me roar" and "I am mom, hear me yell."
I’ve been in your shoes- juggling everything while trying to hold on to every second. That’s why I photography families the way I do: with gentleness, patience, and room for real life to unfold.
We are in it together.
The Why Behind It All
For years before I had kids of my own, I nannied. I loved it (babies and kids are my jam.) Getting to be a part of shaping the lives of perfect, tiny humans is such a joy for me. So when we discovered that I was pregnant with Lyla (my first), I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that I was going to ROCK this motherhood gig.
And I did… doubt I mean. Were they sleeping enough, eating enough, warm enough? Should I hold her? Put her down? Take her out in public? Was I treasuring every moment? Should I feel guilty for wanting a break? Am I a good mom?
Is she going to be a good human? Am I holding tightly enough onto every-single-moment-because-I’ll-never-get-their-babyhood-back?
As parents, we have all been there. I see you. Your worry, your love, and the gorgeous gift that your children are in your lives. That’s why authenticity is so vital to the way I see and capture your families. I want you to hold onto these moments, always. Through all the worry and doubt of parenting, I realized - I am the mom I most want to be, when I stop to embrace the chaos and lean into my family.
I think about that every time I pick up a camera…
And it’s why I absolutely LOVE what I do. I capture the chaos and heart in your family, preserving those precious moments in time through newborn and family photography for families in Westfield, Indiana and the surrounding areas.
