I never want you to worry about what to wear, if your kids will behave, or finding the time to print your photos. Instead, I'll walk alongside you every step of the way, taking things off your plate, so that you can get back to spending time with the ones you love most. From a high-end client closet to custom framing and album design, my full-service photography experience is designed to effortlessly create elegant, heirloom artwork your children will be proud to hang on their walls one day.
Helping busy parents create heirloom artwork for their children.
The CLP Experience
Did your family get professional portraits taken when you were growing up? Long story short–mine didn't. I'd give anything to have a photo of my mom and I that wasn't taken on a disposable camera with bad flash. So it's become my mission to create elevated yet genuine memories for families to treasure for decades into the future–to give other kids what I didn't have growing up, but desperately wish I did.
I've been behind the camera for over 12 years now, ever since I first picked up an old Minolta in my high school’s darkroom. To this day, there's nothing I love more than being able to show someone just how beautiful and special their time spent with loved ones really is.
My Mission
A piece of my heart
Sometimes toddlers throw tantrums, babies fuss, and the weather doesn't cooperate. And that's okay! I have an uncanny ability to think on my feet while remaining positive to get the best images possible.
Adaptability
03
As an Enneagram 7, I love to lift others up and put people at ease with a cheerful, laid-back attitude. The best part of the job is showing you how beautiful, strong, and capable you truly are.
Encouragement

I photograph a limited number of families each month so that I can stay fully committed to serving you well. I'll hold your hand throughout the entire process so you won't have to worry about a thing!

I could spend an entire Saturday afternoon combing through antique shops. I love to collect little trinkets of the past for my home.
