When I think back to the journey I took to where I am today, I see someone very important to me, my biggest inspiration for capturing and preserving life’s big (and little moments): my grandfather. He inspired me to look at photography as more than just photos, but as doorways into the past.

The collections of photos I have of my grandparents has always been an open invitation into their iconic love story and, furthermore, their legacy.

My mom and I will sit for hours just combing through their album and photos as she tells me wonderful stories about them, how they overcame challenges together and loved each other unconditionally.

I remember Grandpa with his 35mm camera along with his “glorious” 80s VHS recorder. He had the biggest smile on his face as he captured us grandchildren just being our crazy, fun selves.

He never wanted us to pose or change who we were in the process, he just enjoyed being in the moment. I may not have understood this concept then as I was just chasing bubbles, but I see exactly what he was doing now.
It’s my life’s mission to preserve your special moments as they unfold. I want your inner and outer beauty to be captured, rejoiced, and cherished for years to come. From those tearful moments when you are reciting your vows, to the endless goofy laughs at your engagement session, to that moment of pause in the excitement of awaiting the birth of your child or wishing time to slow down with your senior graduating from high school.

All of these moments are so special and should be preserved so that one day your grandchildren and great-grandchildren can accept an invitation into your story as they flip through your old photos and albums.
I’m here to help you create and safeguard these time capsules for your family. It’s how your family legacy will continue to live on from one generation to the next.
