I have loved being a mother and I wish I could remember every moment. When I look through photo albums, so many of those moments come back to me like they were yesterday. This is why I love photography.

When I was an obstetrical nurse, I loved looking at the photos taken by the hospital photographer (those typical incubator mug shots) and I would tell my co-workers that someday I would be living my dream job photographing newborns. I have been a professional photographer for over 15 years, but finally, in 2014 I decided to exclusively specialize in maternity, newborns, babies, and children, and now birth as well. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my job.

I used to take my children for professional portraits often when they were young. Since I was in a college photography program, I loved watching them work with my daughters. My favorite photographer, who until I moved away from Michigan became my only photographer, not only gave me beautifully styled and executed images but made the entire experience personal and extraordinarily special. I enjoyed the portrait session and ordering session as much as I loved the images. I never felt like a number, I felt like family, I felt valued. That has always been my goal with my own business - I want my clients to feel this way also.
