Back To Basics Photography bio picture
  • WELCOME!

    My love of photography started 3 years ago when my husband and I were blessed with the birth of our first child. I took thousands of photos, documenting every highlight of our son's first year. I realized how much I loved capturing all of those moments, and how my passion for behind the lens could translate into beautiful keepsakes.

    My full time job is that of wife and mom to our two kids, Brayden (3) and Kenley (1). My children have always been a huge inspiration for my work. It's not always easy being a mom, so I am grateful for this creative outlet.

    I specialize in portrait photography, but I am not afraid to push the envelope. If you have a creative idea, let me know! I would love to make it a reality for you!

    I want to capture the everyday, the big milestones, and everything in between. I can't wait to help you capture your life, and have it be something to be treasured for generations to come.

My Inspiration

My kids have a HUGE impact on my love of photography. After our son Brayden was born and I bought my first DSLR, I was hooked. I wanted to capture every second. Every big moment, little moment, milestone achieved– everything.

And then I wanted to do that for others, so I started this adventure. As much fun as it is capturing milestones for my own kids, it is almost equally as fun doing it for other families. It’s fun to share my love of being behind the lens with others, and I am so blessed to be able to work with such fun families time after time.
