Printing your grad photos may come last on your to-do list, and deciding what to do with them can become daunting.
Your gallery doesn’t just include digital downloads - you will have access to order prints and products directly from your gallery. I also offer a complimentary service to help you choose the perfect print sizes and finishes for your home.
Digital downloads are great for safekeeping, but enjoying your grad’s photos daily is incredibly meaningful for you and your family.
you don’t have to plan this all on your own — I’ll help you through every step.
Between school, work, sports, and figuring out what comes next, life is busy enough. Planning your grad photos shouldn’t feel like one more thing to stress about.
That’s where I come in. I’ll help you choose the right location, outfits, and timing — and make sure your session feels relaxed, comfortable, and 100% like you.
No stiff poses, no fake smiles — just real moments that show who you are right now, in this big chapter of your life.
I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s plan something that feels like you — confident, real, and ready for what’s next.

get to know me more…
I’m a mom of two teens, so I know firsthand how fast these years go. One minute it’s school drop-offs and rugby practices — the next it’s graduation gowns, college plans, and figuring out what comes next.
Watching my own kids grow has shown me how important it is to pause and celebrate this time — the confidence, the uncertainty, the friendships, and all the little moments that make up who you’re becoming.
My grandma always said a good cup of tea can fix almost anything — and honestly, she was right. Life moves fast, but slowing down to capture these moments lets you really see how far you’ve come.
That’s what I love to photograph — the real, in-between moments that tell your story, right before everything changes.

My work specializes in natural, relaxed photography that captures genuine emotions and real connections. I combine traditional, documentary, and lifestyle photography to capture authentic images for you to treasure for a lifetime.
I will provide a generous gallery of images that can be displayed in your home as pieces of art. These photographs will be an investment in your family history. Images from your session often tell a story, capturing a treasured moment in time. I do not try to make you look perfect, stiff, or unnatural. I am not after that "one" shot with everyone looking at the camera and smiling. Sure, I may get some with everyone looking and smiling, but I promise if I do, it will not feel stiff or forced.

See this BLOG POST for ideas on what to wear. Most importantly, be comfortable and be yourself.
