I thought I wanted to be a nurse until I saw my first broken bone. I picked up a camera about 10 years ago as I began experiencing a flood of emotions seeing my son growing up before my eyes. As my family grew it became harder to remember the little moments as time seems to go so quickly. I knew that other moms had to be feeling the same way so I decided to photograph them. My passion is capturing Mama’s with their little babies while they still let them snuggle them.

Born and raised on the gulf coast, growing up you would find me on the beach– sandy toed and pink-cheeked from the Texas sun.
