hi, hello

I was raised without a mother present in my home, I have a few memories of her being in my life and fewer photographs to remember her. Memories matter moments matter, and photographs matter.

I’m now a mother of two beautiful souled daughters who have changed my heart and world forever. I yearn that they will have the memories of my love for them forever. I hope that they will remember me picking them up after they have fallen, and kissing their boo-boos. Laying in their bed, stroking their hair while they lay their head next to me while reading books. I hope that they remember the moments I take to connect with them while I get them ready in the morning, helping them brush their teeth and do their hair. 

Most importantly, I hope they remember that I love them no matter what. 

My husband has hundreds of photographs documenting the moments that mean so much to me. Meanwhile, the only evidence of me being in their life is that I’m the person behind those precious photos or the poorly executed selfies. There have been plenty of moments that I wish my husband had grabbed the camera to capture, or wish there was a hidden camera snapping these fleeting moments. 

Mama’s let me photograph the moments you want to cherish forever.


fast fun facts.

trained doula

I was trained as a DONA doula in June 2022 after I fell even more in love with all things birth. My first birth was an unmedicated hospital birth, with my second being a quick 2 hour labor home birth. I became a VBAC certified doula in 2023.

triathlon enthusiast

I had a miscarriage in 2022 that sparked my obsession with triathlons when days later I watched the IRONMAN world championships. I competed in my first sprint and olympic triathlon that year, after never having ran a mile before in my life.

washington state native

I lived my first twenty-one years of life in the evergreen state, I then transplanted to sunny Southern Utah where I have been since 2013.

i’m a big fan of:

 

The morning stillness as the sunrises, the cotton candy clouds in the evening, the feeling of the breeze on my face as I ride my bike, the little handprints on the windows, baby snorts and grunts, resting my head and my soft fluffy puppy, sitting on the back porch eating ice cream, laying on a blanket under the stars, the sound of the waves hitting the shoreline, the feeling of my favorite pen gliding along the page, the sound of my toddler giggling, the heat from the day after the sun goes behind the mountains, writing thank you cards
