  • Welcome!!

    So glad you're here! I'd like to tell you a bit about myself. I have been married to my wonderful husband for 18 years and we have two beautiful daughters, ages 13 and 15. I attended Columbia College and received a degree in Graphic Design. I worked as a graphic design manager for 7 years at the Illinois CPA Society where I designed their Magazine INSIGHT. My love for photography was always there but had to wait...

    On April 28, 2008 my daughter who was then almost 3 was diagnosed with ALL a form of Leukemia. As you can imagine that was a life changing moment to say the least. Through all the tears and heartache of watching your daughter go through intense chemotherapy and missing out on so many things—I have learned to treasure memories even more then ever. I just love
    taking precious pictures of children and families—the idea that these pictures will be looked
    at for generations to come is such an honor to me!!

    So here I am doing something I LOVE—capturing beautiful moments!

Happy New Year!!!

Hope everyone had a lovely holiday season with friends and family!
2014 was a wonderful year for me!!! Got to go on a vacation with all my besties in May and also took an AWESOME vacation to Florida with my lovely family in October!!
We bought a “summer home” AKA a camper!! LOL the kids love it and it forces us to spend some good ole quality time as a family!! We don’t go far and it’s a ton of work~ but it’s all about memories!! =priceless
It also forces me to spend at least one weekend a month with the family~I’m always working!

My computer took a “pooh” forcing me to buy my new 27″ iMac baby which I love!!!!! The timing wasn’t the best but such is life!! Merry Christmas to me!!

This year my hubby turns 40 in May!!! Nashville here we come!!!!
