A little about us...


My work is a combination of all passions, photographing children, giving whatever I can and living sustainably.

Behind this business is myself, my husband, Scott and our son, whom we owe for what he brought to our family, Cole. I have been a nanny all through college and this has enabled me to have my little subjects up close over long periods to perfect capturing many little moments as we wish all could be captured. My husband personally funded my business as each holiday, birthday and anniversary gave opportunity for another piece of equiptment! I have combined my refined technique with a major aspect of our lifestyle, living sustainably and leaving as little impact as possible.

We reside in a tiny cottage on a historic farm. We made a decision to live there to live a greener lifestyle. There we compost, garden and use wood heat. We even have an outhouse. We use minimal electricity and the house itself is built to make the most of the trees in the summer and the sun in the winter. As far as giving, I have always believed no matter how little you have, in giving what you can. After our son Cole was born, and 1,000 hours clocked in on the couch during tiny feedings, a longtime dream slowly began to become a possibility. Here, I introduce my work as everything is beginning after a year of extensive research, dreaming and planning. My site says it all, all of my inspirations, goals, plans and possibilities with my work.

I capture wondeful little moments and expressions, I give 10 % of all profit to a wonderful children's charity, "Giving Children Hope," and I try to raise awareness of sustainable living with comprehensive information. For a session, I come to clients for a personal session where children are most comfortable, I also offer our farm as a wonderful outdoor backdrop or I will go to a location of their choosing. I also offer an organic portrait brunch, where hosts recieve free portraiture! (More information below.)
This business is literally a labor of love and a combination of all things that keep me going. Enjoy the site, the information, and here you can literally watch us grow!
