A photographer based in Ada, Oklahoma, I capture real, heartfelt moments: laughter, love, and life’s little wonders, and turn them into memories you’ll treasure forever.

If you have more than one child, you know this moment.

One minute they’re best friends.
The next minute… they’re arguing over something no one can even remember starting. 😅
And then, out of nowhere, you catch this. Arms wrapped tight, laughter spilling out, the kind of closeness that reminds you how deep sibling bonds really run.

These are the moments I love photographing.
Not the perfectly posed ones, but the real ones.
The ones that happen in between directions and smiles, when kids forget the camera is even there and just lean into each other.

Because years from now, this is what parents will miss most.
Not the outfits. Not the setting.
But the way they fit together so easily in this season of life.

Are your kids more huggers… or wrestlers? 🤍

If you give a pet five minutes, they’ll tell you exactly who their person is.

It shows up in where they sit, who they lean toward, and which hand they reach for without thinking. A bunny that presses in close. A dog that settles right at someone’s side. A quiet choice to stay near.

That’s my favorite part of photographing pets with their people, watching those little moments unfold naturally and catching them before they pass.

Because long after the session is over, it’s often these small, unplanned details that matter most.

If you have a pet, I’d love to know what’s their name, and how do they show that you’re their person? 🐾

Some moments are calm and quiet.
Others are full of laughter and love.

And the best sessions always have a little of both.

I love letting kids warm up at their own pace, watching their personalities come out, and capturing the joy that follows, giggles, hugs, and real connection.

Not perfect.
Not posed.
Just real moments that families can look back on.

Which photo would you hang on your wall? 🤍

Some senior photos don’t need a smile to say everything.

There’s something powerful about this moment.
Walking forward, steady and confident, carrying what grounds you, stepping into what’s next.

No posing. No direction. Just who he is, right now, on the edge of what’s ahead.

This is why I love senior sessions.
They aren’t just about who you’ve been…
they’re about who you’re becoming.

Some of the most meaningful photos happen when kids bring something they truly love into the frame.
A favorite book. A familiar story. A moment where they forget the camera is even there.

This wasn’t about perfect posing or forced smiles; it was about letting her be herself and noticing the magic that already existed.

If you want photos that feel like your child, not just what they look like, this is how those moments are made.

✨ What’s your child’s favorite thing right now?

Before the leap.
After the work.
Right in the middle of loving what you do.

These are the moments that shape the dancer just as much as the performance itself, and they’re the moments I love capturing most.

If you’ve ever poured your heart into something quietly, you probably understand this feeling. 🤍
What’s something you love doing, even when no one’s watching?

It’s the little hands for me. 💕

Family sessions aren’t about perfect smiles or everyone looking at the camera at the same time. They’re about the real moments that happen in between, the ones you don’t always realize you’ll miss until they’re gone.

A dad gently pushing his baby girl on the swing.
Tiny fingers wrapping around his hand like she knows that’s exactly where she belongs.
Parents standing close, watching her, soaking in this season that feels so big and yet goes so fast.

These moments don’t ask to be posed. They just happen. And those are the ones I’m always watching for. The quiet, tender details that tell the real story of your family.

Because one day, these photos won’t just remind you what everyone looked like… they’ll remind you how it felt.
