Hello
Well hello there! Thanks for stopping by! I am genuinely excited for the potential to serve you in the best way for any of your portrait needs. As my kids have started participating in organized sports and have been in school I have realized there is a huge need for quality portrait photographers.
My husband Scott & I have been married for 8 years. During those years we welcomed two kiddos, my 6 year old son Calvin and 14 months later he became big bro to our 5 year old daughter Autumn! Of course we can't forget our playful Boxer Mix Stanley, and our overly affectionate cat Shelby. As a family we love to be outdoors camping, swimming, hiking, fishing, and hunting!
I have started my small selection of school portraits and organized sport portraits as my kids have gone into school and been involved in activities. I was invited to take the photos for a larger girls tee ball and softball organization last summer and fell IN LOVE with this genre of photography.
I love interacting with all the kids individually and getting the perfect pose for Mom & Dad to hang on the fridge. As a parent I know what they want and I am there to serve them. I also know how sometimes kids are hard to open up for a quick photo. This is why I will always have a smile on my face and make your kiddo feel like a VIP when they are in front of the camera.

Frequently Asked Questions
This is a GREAT question and the answer all depends on your needs. Outdoor sports are photographed outdoors on the field in which they play. Indoor sports are photographed on the court in which they are played. School portraits are taken on site with my mobile portrait studio. Retakes may be taken on site or in my studio. Corporate headshots as a group are taken on site with my mobile portrait studio. Individual headshots (not with a corporation) will be taken in studio.
For now, I am the only photographer. Additionally I will always have 1-2 assistants with me taking order forms and helping on the administrative side of things. Right now this works really well for me but, as the business grows and higher volume jobs are booked staffing needs will be adjusted.
Yes, and no. For sports I usually photograph 2-3 different poses of each child. I will choose the best of each pose and you will have 3 final images to choose from. I offer an online ordering experience which allows you to order a variety of each pose! For corporate headshots and schools I offer only one pose.
I do a mix of both! This way if you prefer the natural background you can have it and if you like the fancy composite work you can have that too. If you like both then you can get both!
I do photograph for and build composite banners. The cost all depends on your needs. A conversation would take place so that I can provide a custom quote for your organizations needs.
