Tell us a little about yourself!

I have been happily married to my sweet husband Joe for 23 years, and we have four amazing kids ages 14 – 20! I love coffee and chocolate and rainbows make me ridiculously happy. 🙂



What do you specialize in? What made you want to focus on that specialty/specialties?

I specialize in newborns and the surrounding stages starting with maternity and continuing on with capturing that baby’s milestones as they grow! I am passionate about providing heirloom quality photos for other parents to prevent regrets that I personally have from not investing in this when my babies were newborn.

How did you first get started in photography?

I wanted to have a better capture of my own babies that the department store photo studios weren’t providing for me.

How has using Iris impacted your business?

I have been using Iris for about 6 or 7 years. It’s been such a help to have contracts and questionnaires to send to clients and also to keep my clients’ information organized!

What are your future goals for your business? What are you looking forward to?

I want to grow in my newborn clientele and reach and bless more families.

If you could go back to when you first started in photography, what advice would you give yourself?

Value your work!
