Self-taught photographer, entrepreneur, who's passion in life is Capturing the story of your life - one chapter at a time.
Rocky Mountain photographer of all things Lifestyle & love
A born and bred Alberta girl, I’ve always grown up with a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature and the Rocky Mountains, and since becoming a mother seven years ago, I have realized that the memories preserved in a photograph hold immeasurable value. My love for capturing cherished moments of my boys and appreciation for the mountains set me on the path that has led me to where Naturally Illustrated is today! What started out as a hobby, has turned into a passion!
I’m always continually developing my professional talents, whether that be through creative workshops, classes, or other talented creatives. Through some trial and error, I’ve found my sweet spot in lifestyle and moody photography - usually with the Rockies as my backdrop!
With enthusiasm and direction, my goal for each session is to create authentic moments and emotion. Through my lens I want to tell a story that is unique to who you are and where you are. I consider it an absolute honor to play a small part in capturing these memories for my clients.
the littlest loves of my life
I have three little boys, Kip, Gunner and Oakley. There is still a small chance I will try for a girl.
I am an entrepreneur and the Co-Founder of HOURTRADERZ an app that connects people with skills and services looking to trade.
I have a passion for interior design and coffee fuels my soul.
