A little more about me. I am a Wife, Momma of 3 girls and one boy in heaven. I'm a traditional doula and birth photographer. An appreciative of raw and real, a wanna-be homesteader, although so far I have not mastered keeping plants alive. LOL.
Photography is something I have always loved! Because photographs hold and tell stories of emotion, memories, times long past with people you never want to forget.

Beyond photography, wife-life and motherhood, I love decaf lattes, believe I was a western ranch spirited girl born into an East-Coast suburban family, and my dream is to travel the whole world and learn all about different cultures. 
But as far now, I am SW Virginia mountain based and travel every chance I get!! 

I like to do a little bit of modeling and self-portraits when I can. These were taken for a local vintage boutique in Staunton called Juniper Lane

Fun fact: I've been pregnant and/or breastfeeding for the last 5+ years! I've done many self-portraits documenting this time in our lives. 

my husband James Waylon is my best friend and motorcycle rides are our favorite kid-free activity 

i do what i do because it's all we have of them. I treasure the photos we have

love a latte
