How is it that 2021 moved so insanely slowly and also at warp speed? This year saw a lot of things – globally, nationally, and personally. This past Summer, I decided to come back to photography after a few years away. During that break, I did plenty of part-time jobs, and eventually went into teaching elementary school art full time in 2019. I never had a year of teaching that wasn’t affected by the pandemic.

After the hardest year any teacher could (and did) have, and rediscovering my love for photography, I decided to leave teaching in September and go full time with photography. I have felt so fulfilled, and have absolutely loved getting to know families. Being able to build relationships with you, despite the limitations of Covid, has made 2021 amazing.

So, let’s get on with it and take a look at some of my personal favorites from this past year!

This year was amazing, and so much of that had to do with the families I got to meet and photograph! Capturing your family and authenticity this year made me so joyful! So, thank you all for trusting me to show you as you truly are this year! I have limited availability for newborn and family lifestyle & slice of life sessions for 2022, so if you’re interested be sure to reach out soon!
