a little about me

I’m a Scottsdale-based photographer with a heart for capturing the beauty of motherhood, the magic of newborns, and the joy of growing families—all while delivering a luxury experience that goes beyond the lens. Originally from a small town in Massachusetts, I traded snow for sunshine over 15 years ago and have been inspired by the beauty of the desert ever since. My work is rooted in storytelling—capturing the real, the joyful, and the deeply personal moments that become lifelong treasures.

I’ve been lucky enough to share life with my husband, Kevin, for over 14 years—married for 8 of them. We met through friends at Saddle Ranch (and fun fact: I initially refused to date him because he’s almost two feet taller than me!). Thankfully, I came to my senses and realized he’s the most thoughtful person I’ve ever known. Together, we’re raising our spirited 6-year-old daughter—my mini-me in both sass and sweetness—and our fiercely loyal Belgian Malinois, Moxie.

I’m also an identical twin, a beach lover to the core, and a spicy margarita enthusiast. Editing photos with a good audiobook in my ears? That’s my creative zone. Outside of work, you’ll find me at the gym, hiking desert trails, riding bikes with my daughter, or planning our next adventure.

And once upon a time, I studied abroad in Australia—skydived twice, explored New Zealand and Fiji, and yes, skipped a marketing class or two for a little extra adventure. (Don’t tell my daughter!)

Let’s create something meaningful together—images that tell your story and become heirlooms for generations.

Passionate about Storytelling

My passion for storytelling through photography was born from the pages of family photo albums that captured our milestones, memories, and everyday magic. Those images shaped my love for preserving moments that matter.

Today, as a lifestyle photographer, I’m honored to tell your story—whether it’s the quiet beauty of maternity, the tender first days with your newborn, or the joyful chaos of family life. With a mix of artistry and authenticity, I create timeless images that feel true to you.

These aren’t just photos—they’re heirlooms in the making. Let’s create something beautiful together that your family will cherish for years to come.
