"It feels like I’m coming full circle!

Long before I became a mom to my own three kids, I was behind the camera shooting professional headshots and family portraits. Photography has always been my first love. For the past 17years, I’ve poured that passion into Animo Jackie Robinson, capturing thousands of milestones on campus.

What truly sets my work apart is my background as a visual art painter. I don’t just snap a photo; I approach every session with an artist’s eye for composition, color balance, and light. I see the final image like a painting, ensuring that the framing is perfect before I even press the shutter.

I shoot on the powerful Canon R6 Mark II with a variety of specialty lenses to capture crisp, vibrant moments. But the magic doesn't stop there. I personally select, edit, and retouch the best images from our session. I treat every photo as a piece of art, ensuring everyone looks their absolute best.

The "Mom" Factor While I take the artistic side seriously, my secret weapon is patience. As a mom of three and a seasoned school photographer, I know exactly how to get genuine smiles out of babies and energetic children.

Let’s Connect I am officially opening my books again for private family sessions! As I expand this part of my business, I am so excited to get a referral from you or to have the opportunity to photograph your family directly. If you know someone looking for updated portraits, please send them my way!"
