Quad Cities Family Photographer
You can't hold onto all of it, but you can take pieces with you throughout your life. In memories, in stories, in keepsakes. In family photos.
As parents, you do your best to remember the newborn baby smell, how their entire face squints when they smile, the mischievous side-eyes, the deafening squeals of joy, and the soft snuggles that turn you into a puddle. Sooner or later... time, sleep deprivation, and the constant current of change distance you from that sweetness.
The story of memories in the making, of the littlest they will ever be, of you right now.

There are seriously SO many amazing pictures, it's hard to choose a favorite!!! The girls loved showing off for Areli, and in doing so she captured their personalities PERFECTLY! These are exactly what I hoped they would be and then some!!
As a photographer and a mama those are the times I live for and want every parent to be able to hold onto when they’re little ones are grown. Invite me over and I’ll document the pieces of them you cherish.
People who strive for perfection don't know the magic of popsicle juice running down a toddler's shirt. Or the face of a part dinosaur 6-month-old screeching excitedly.
Your everyday storyteller, tiny human wrangler, and lens juggler.
