I was a high school teacher for ten years. The art of teaching love stories and finding beauty in words, it was where I found steady ground. I grew this photography business while I loved teenagers.

It actually took a high school girl to wake up and start following my dreams and to stop being a creature of comfort. She said: "You push us to chase our dreams and follow our talents, why are you still in this room?"

Now, I help tell love stories with a camera, not a textbook. 

A decade as a teacher, photographer, and business owner has taught me how to be flexible, how to sprinkle just the right amount of sarcasm in a conversation, and how to intuitively capture the genuine moments.

I am wife to Ben and mom to Amelia and Harrison. We love boating, growing our garden, and working as family to run all our businesses. Ben owns an insurance agency and helps me with my rentable studio space, Parlor Studios.
