This is my beautiful family, the heart behind my passion for photography. I served 7 years  on active duty in the United States Marine Corps, and while photography has always been something I loved, it truly became a part of me after becoming a mother. Having my baby made me realize just how quickly time passes and how important it is to capture every precious, fleeting moment. Through my lens, I aim to freeze the raw, real and beautiful emotions that make life so special. Time will always be a thief, but photographers let us hold on to the moments that matter the most.
