I unboxed my first camera — a Nikon N65 — almost 25 years ago, but my work has always been about more than images. I’m a native Mainer, rooted on a working dairy farm where I learned early that small businesses are built on early mornings, steady work, and a belief that what you’re building matters.

Later, at a Portland-based marketing firm, I saw how strategy and visuals shape the way a business is understood — and whether it grows. I also served in leadership with Young Life, a global youth ministry that deepened my love for people, relationships, and the kind of true stories that move us. All of that led me here.

My husband and I document much of our own family life through Maine With Kids — our ongoing record of raising girls in this state. It’s taught us that most adventures are worth attempting, that kids are capable of more than we expect, and that these busy seasons are the very ones we’ll someday wish we could revisit.

That perspective shapes my work. With families, I’m telling stories through the lens of connection — creating heirloom-quality images from sessions that feel like real life, not performance.

With businesses, I bring both the camera and the strategy. Not just one strong image, but a clear visual direction — work that aligns with your message, supports your growth, and reflects the substance behind what you’re building.

Whether I’m documenting a family season or helping a Maine company clarify its brand, I’m thinking about longevity, cohesion and creating images that will still feel right years from now.

If you’re building something here — a family, a business, a life — I’d be honored to help you hold onto it, and to put it to work in the places that matter most.
