Hello, and Welcome!
I’m so glad you’re here. I specialize in senior photography that feels personal, authentic, and true to who you are right now in this exciting season of life. My goal is to create more than just beautiful photos — I want your session to feel fun, relaxed, and genuinely you. I take the time to get to know each of my clients so we can incorporate your personality, style, interests, and vibe into your session. And don’t worry if being in front of the camera feels awkward or unfamiliar — you do not need to know how to pose or what to do. I’ll guide you every step of the way with natural direction and prompts so you can relax and enjoy the experience. More than anything, I want you to leave your session feeling confident, comfortable, and excited about the images we created together.
A little bit about me
I’m a native Oregonian and have called the Salem area home since 2003. When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me cheering on the Portland Timbers and Thorns, hiking or camping somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, or planning my next travel adventure. I’m a mom to two amazing young adult kids (18 and 20), and I also spend a lot of my time working with teens as a Scout leader — which means I’m very comfortable connecting with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. I have a BFA in Interior Design, and I’ve always been drawn to creativity, color, and beautiful spaces. I love good conversation, being outdoors, and finding joy in the little moments, and I feel incredibly lucky to live and work in such a beautiful part of Oregon.
A little bit about me
When I’m not behind the lens I can be found hiking and camping with Scouts, losing my voice at a Timbers or Thorns soccer game, or planning my next travel adventure. There's a lot of the world I want to see! I actually hold a BFA in Interior Design, so when I’m looking through my camera, I’m constantly thinking about light, color, and how to find the perfect "space" for your personality to shine. I may be self-taught in how to operate a camera but my design foundation is rock solid. I am a parent myself, and though my two kids are entering their young adult years I have many years of experience with kids of all ages.
The Portrait Experience
With over 15 years of experience behind the lens and a background in design, I don’t just take pictures—I curate an experience. For my High School Seniors, I treat your session as a definitive rite of passage. This is more than a quick photo op; it’s a personalized event designed to capture your style and confidence in a way that feels authentic and elevated. From scouting the perfect sunset location to guiding you through every pose, we’ll create a portfolio of images that celebrate exactly who you are in this moment.
For my Families and Newborns, I bring a seasoned eye and a wealth of patience to every session. I know that the most beautiful moments often happen in between the poses, and my goal is to make the process completely effortless for you. Whether we are working through a toddler’s "energetic" afternoon or the quiet, delicate rhythms of a newborn, you can trust in my 15+ years of expertise to handle every detail. I offer both Full and Mini Sessions across all categories, ensuring that whether you need an immersive luxury experience or a brief, beautiful update to your family gallery, you receive a polished, professional result that belongs on your walls.
