About Me

“We take photographs as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.”

Katie Thurmes

​

At a young age I realized the value of a portrait. No words need be spoken, silence, solitude and complete stillness freeze this moment that will now last on for generations to come. Many of my memories are stemmed from photographs which highlight and bring depth to my childhood. Over time these memories can become as dreams, foggy and distorted. My goal as a photographer is to prevent this distortion by capturing every fleeting moment for you and your littles.

​

My first experience of seeing life born into this world as a photographer was Feb 11, 2011. That moment was magical, emotional and fleeting faster than I could snap my camera. It was in this moment that I knew I must take this hobby further, for as the story of life unfolded before me, I knew it was but one chance, one moment, one capture to last forever. Over the years I began to capture every memory thru different lenses and angles. Telling my story through photography and sharing these beautiful experiences I have been blessed with.

​

In recent years my husband encouraged and supported me to take this hobby to a professional level. I have since learned the art and skill of photography, educating myself daily through workshops, online classes and constant practice and persistency. I take great pride in capturing your first moments with your littles, starting with maternity sessions all the way up to birth, fresh 48 and newborn photography. All of which slip by so fast! I regret not having captured these moments in my life as I was only given one opportunity and failed to “freeze” that memory in a portrait. If you find value in these moments as I do, I strongly encourage you to book a session today to always and forever have these “return tickets” back to these fleeting moments in time.
