Documenting
your future
nostalgia
ST. CHARLES, IL
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
I am a photographer whose heart beats for documentary storytelling.
What is documentary storytelling photography?
It's real life, gently noticed. It's combining your story with a photographers artistic eye.
My approach blends storytelling with gentle direction, creating space for you to settle in, let go of expectations, and simply be together.
It's moments shaped by emotive prompting, intentional light and thoughtful framing that brings feelings to the surface and then captured with intention.
Here's a the little secret: this isn’t a studio shoot. You get to let go. Of expectations. Of control. Just get dressed, lean into one another, and I’ll take care of the rest. Connection over perfection, simple as that. Come as you are.
Step 1
Reach out
Reach out. Send me a little note telling me about you, your people, and what you’re hoping to hold onto.
Step 2
We connect
If we’re a good fit, we set up a phone call. We dream up a few simple, meaningful moments to photograph.
We choose a date, a time, and everything else falls into place.
Step 3
The Session
I'll be gently guiding you helping you craft a story inspired by who you are. You stay wrapped up in the ones you love, while I gather the magic and create a gallery that feels like home.
Only two packages..

The Keepsake Studio
A tiny little studio nestled here in St. Charles, Illinois.
Filled with softened light, weathered wood, wild greens, and collected vintage treasures, this space was created to feel less like a photography set and more like stepping into a quiet, enchanted world. The translucent walls allow light to pour in from every angle, creating a dreamy glow that brings warmth and nostalgia to every image.
The studio is an earthy, whimsical space where children can explore, play, and let their imaginations wander. Within moments, stories begin to unfold. Imaginations take over. Ordinary moments become little keepsakes.

The In-Home Keepsake
A tender little love letter to your life at home. The Keepsake Session is a storytelling experience where I gently step into your world & tell your story as it unfolds. These sessions can unfold inside your walls or out in the open air. Wherever your family feels most alive, most connected, most you.
