In today's fast-paced digital world, where selfies and smartphone snapshots flood our social media feeds, the concept of legacy portraits might seem a bit old-fashioned. But legacy portraits have a unique ability to freeze a moment in time…

Here’s what got me to where I am today: Amazing clients who continue to return for portraits of the people they love most. It's the reason I will never stop pushing myself to perfect my craft and to offer every bit of customer service I can. ⁠
I will also never take their loyalty for granted…

The milestone that you hope as a parent you never have to document: Baby's First Ambulance Ride. I knew it was serious when I called the pediatrician's office, and as soon as I told the nurse that my 2-week-old baby didn't wake up to eat overnight…

When I opened the letter, I first had to catch my breath, and then the tears came. It was a letter from my Grandpa, and I was stunned to see a check for $1000 tucked inside…
