About
My Story
Since 2010, I’ve offered more than photography—I’ve curated personalized, luxury portrait experiences designed to honor your story. It began in a small studio in Broadway, Virginia, capturing autumn’s golden light and crafting custom holiday cards for families who wanted more than snapshots. Now based in Idaho with two refined studio spaces, I specialize in heirloom-quality portraits, tailored from start to finish. Every session is a collaboration—designed around your vision, styled with intention, and finished with exquisite fine art products. This isn’t just a photo shoot. It’s an experience worthy of your most meaningful moments.
My Experience
Science Refined My Eye—Love Refined My Art
I am a soulful storyteller with a passion for beauty, connection, and legacy. My path to photography began not in a studio, but in a lab—capturing the delicate dance of stem cells through time-lapse imaging as part of my scientific training. It was there, immersed in the precision of light and focus, that I learned the art of creating a perfect image.
When I received my first SLR camera in 2001, something clicked—both in the lens and in my heart. Since then, I’ve spent decades learning to translate emotion into imagery, crafting portraits that are as meaningful as they are beautiful. My goal is simple but profound: to create an experience that helps you preserve what matters most—whether it’s the tiny fingers of your newborn, the laughter of your children, or the warmth of your family, held in light.
Each session is a deeply personal collaboration. I don’t just take photos—I create heirlooms that reflect your story with elegance, authenticity, and soul.
My goal isn’t just to take photographs—it’s to craft the image: the one that takes your breath away every time you see it. The one that captures the essence of who you are, or who your child is at this fleeting stage in life. The one that becomes an heirloom, passed from hand to hand, generation to generation.
That kind of image doesn’t happen by accident. It begins with getting to know you—your story, your style, your vision. I take the time to listen deeply, to understand the feeling you want to preserve and the emotion you want to remember. From there, we design your session with intention. Together, we curate the perfect set—choosing location, light, and wardrobe with care and refinement. I guide you through every detail, from selecting elegant pieces that flatter and express your aesthetic, to posing that feels effortless yet graceful, natural yet elevated.
During the session, I work with precision and warmth, making space for genuine connection while expertly crafting light, composition, and moment. And once we’ve captured those fleeting expressions and tender details, the artistry continues—each image is hand-finished and transformed into fine art, with the care and detail you would expect from a luxury experience.
This isn’t just photography. It’s a collaboration built on trust and vision—resulting in artwork that lives far beyond the day it was taken.

We absolutely loved getting photos of our newborn with Crystal. She seriously is the baby whisper! The environment is so beautiful and peaceful, my husband and I almost fell asleep as sleep deprived new parents with how comfortable she made us feel. The photos turned out amazing and is something we cherish over and over again. We are currently waiting for our second baby’s arrival and couldn’t be more excited to get photos with her again.
