I am glad you are here! Photography is all about sharing stories for me! So here is a short one for you. I was laying in bed in the middle of the night and when that happens it’s either because my youngest is up and up again, or because my mind is brimming with ideas. With Love and Wonder Photography was one such idea. It was born out of a love for many things; the sound of little giggles, the twinkle in the eye of my loved ones when we share a moment, a white-out of big fluffy snowflakes falling out of the sky, spring flowers popping up to say hello, the smell of the fresh air. Golly – I could go on and on but those are some of my favorite things – and all of them make me want to savor the moment and praise my savior. I am always thinking about how the things that bring peace and joy are authored by God Almighty and about how He delights in us. Naturally, I found myself saying, “Wow, God. You are awe-some.” I knew that I wanted to share this love and wonder about the message of life (hope, joy, and gratitude) with anyone who might listen.

Photography kind of fell into my lap piece by piece after becoming a stay-at-home mama. My background as a radiologic technologist and mammographer paved the way for my love of critical thinking, and the education about light behavior and film always interested me. It still makes me giddy how similar the two are. It has just been an easy yes. The truth is it can be a struggle to slow down in the busyness of life and remember to get pictures of your little ones, let alone portraits of the entire family together. But, I have learned

you never regret it.

Let me guide you through the process as stress-free as possible. I can’t wait to hear your story and the moments of your family you want to capture. Your story and your family are so important! With that in mind, I set out to take portraits that make you feel something… And when our session is over, I go to work again editing your images for the natural, beautiful memories that they are. Then hip, hip, hooray – I get to deliver something super special! You and your people together! What could be better?

You might notice that I love to include in all my collections a print or product of some kind. This is a part of what I wanted to do differently. I really wanted to set up my packages so that you would walk away with a tangible element from our time together. Digitals are great to look at and remember your moments together, but a picture on the wall that you and others can see in your home every day is so much more satisfying! And the thing about quality prints is that they last beyond a lifetime! This isn’t an investment that can be enjoyed just for today – but for many years to come! You can share you most precious moments, you strory, with your children, and their children. It is quite humbling that I can be a part of sharing your legacy.

I would be delighted to provide you with an heirloom worthy album jam-packed with all the heart-felt details of your loved ones you want to remember. I genuinely hope to serve you and be a blessing.
