Why Portraits Matter to Me

One of my most treasured possessions is a pair of family portraits—taken a few years apart, in the same Colorado location. Both images have hung as 30x40 canvases above my fireplace, reminding me daily of how quickly life changes and how priceless these moments are.

It’s these kinds of images—ones that hold meaning, grow with you, and become part of your home—that inspire me to create lasting portraits for my clients.

(and now I need to get this image updated again!)

From Digital Files to True Heirlooms

When I first started my business, I provided only digital images. But over time, I noticed a pattern—people weren’t printing them. Some even lost their CDs (yes, back in the day!). And when they did try to print, they often didn’t know what size, what type of product, or where to display them.

I experienced this firsthand when I ordered prints for my own home but wasn’t given the guidance I needed. I knew there had to be a better way.

So, I made a change. Now, I offer a full-service experience—helping you visualize exactly how your portraits will look in your home before you even order them. I work with top-tier professional labs to ensure the highest quality and take care of all the details so you don’t have to. No second-guessing, no stress—just beautifully finished pieces, done right.

My Approach: Natural, Honest & Timeless

I don’t follow trends. No heavy filters. No over-editing. My goal is to create classic, beautifully authentic portraits that will never look outdated. I focus on real connections, true-to-life colors, and effortless elegance.

Whether you’re a high school senior, a professional, a mother, or someone simply wanting to celebrate yourself—I want you to see your own beauty, confidence, and worth in every image we create together.
