Child-led Photography In Bend Oregon


My approach to photography is simple: let your family be themselves while I handle the rest. Whether we’re at your favorite outdoor spot or in the comfort of your home, I use gentle prompts to capture natural moments that highlight your kids’ personalities and your family’s love.


You don’t need to worry about perfect poses or keeping everyone smiling—I’ve got that covered. I follow your children’s energy, making the session relaxed and fun. Whether they’re exploring a field or cozying up at home, I create a comfortable environment where everyone can just be themselves, allowing you to focus on enjoying the moment while I capture genuine memories that will last a lifetime.

My Approach

My work is an expression of what I am most passionate about: storytelling, simplicity and human interaction.

What drives my photography passion


As a child, I didn’t have baby photos to look back on, the youngest photo I have is when I was 3 or 4 years old. Now, with only a handful of photos with my parents, and my mom's passing in 2020, I feel the weight of what’s missing. Those photos I don’t have can never be replaced, and that ache is something I don’t want for any other family. I’m here to make sure you don’t miss out on capturing the moments that matter most.



MEET MY LOVELY FAMILY

They are my backbone, and source of happiness.

We are a reflection of the people who surround us. I'm proud and honored to have these 3 amazing humans as part of my life

A Little About Me

As a mom of two, I get how fast time passes with your children, and that’s why I’m passionate about preserving those fleeting moments. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll often find me hiking, camping, or exploring the outdoors with my kids. I love showing them what nature can do for you—how it grounds you, inspires you, and brings you together. That connection with nature is something I try to bring into my work as well, especially during outdoor sessions.
