Local OKC Enthusiast, Always Reading, Nature lover, Travel Obsessed, Coffee in Hand.

I am an Oklahoma City photographer that specializes in family, child, graduating senior and vacation portraits. With over eleven years of professional photography experience and seven years as a public school educator, you are in good hands.
 

my story

I am first and foremost a wife (20+ years, wowza) and mother to our two children. As a family we love traveling, hiking, good food and exploring local events in OKC. We are always on the go and are often described as adventurous & happy.

I dusted off my camera skills as a new mother over a decade ago, determined to freeze time just a little. I didn't want forced, posed photos. I wanted to look at an image I had taken and remember the sound of my children's genuine giggles and playfulness in the moment. The pictures I hang on my walls are just that - a true memory for our family. Not forced, bribed, or bargained for.
 



Does that sound impossible to you? It's not! I promise! You see, before I became a professional photographer I was an elementary school teacher. I learned to think on my feet quickly with kids, yet also appreciate the moment. My photography sessions are a lot of playing around, movement, and fun.
 
I'd love to meet you & photograph your family just as I photograph my own.

WHAT I WANT FOR MY OWN FAMILY IS
