About Me

I'm a Calgary photographer, mom of three, coffee enthusiast, sewing addict, and lifelong creative. I've lived in Calgary my entire life and have spent nearly 20 years capturing the people, relationships, and moments that matter most.

As a mother myself, I understand how quickly life changes. Babies grow, children become teenagers, couples build families, and seasons of life pass before we realize they're gone. Photographs allow us to hold onto those moments long after they've passed, preserving memories for both ourselves and the people we love.

That's why I believe photography should feel natural and authentic. My style focuses on genuine connection, natural light, and true-to-life colour. Rather than creating stiff or overly posed images, I want to capture the laughter, personality, and little moments that tell your story.

Over the years, I've photographed weddings, engagements, newborns, families, children, pets, headshots, beauty portraits, and more. Every session has reinforced what I love most about photography: helping people remember this chapter of their lives exactly as it was.

A few years ago, I stepped away from full-time photography to focus on raising my three children. Now that they're growing up and becoming more independent, I'm excited to return to photography part-time and reconnect with the work I've always loved.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me sewing, walking my dogs, creating something new, or enjoying another cup of coffee.

Whether you're celebrating a milestone, documenting your family, or simply wanting to preserve this moment in time, I'd be honoured to tell your story.

I can't wait to meet you.
