My Photography Services
Senior Portraits/
Child Session
Full Session/Mini Session
A Full Session includes multiple outfits and locations, no set time limit and at least 60 edited photos.
A Mini Session includes one outfit and location, 30 minutes and at least 25 edited photos.
A Sports Mini-Session includes the location of your choosing (basketball gym, baseball diamond, football field, etc.) and various photos of the athlete.
A Child Mini-Session is a great time! Let’s do a princess party or let’s have some superhero outdoor play time together to capture their personalities!
Couples/Engagement Sessions
Choose a gorgeous spot to meet, and we will take as many photos and spend as much time as needed to capture your love and relationship in the most beautiful way possible! I am a sucker for love, and these are by far some of my absolute favorite sessions.
Family Sessions
We will meet at a location and spend as much time as needed to capture your family/relationship in it’s fullest!
Multiple outfits are fine, expect at least 60 edited photos, and we will do as many shots of different family variations as you wish! (ie: mom and dad, siblings all together, each individual child, etc.)
Event Sessions
Reach out to me about your event!.
I love capturing a small wedding, birthday or retirement party, etc. Let’s talk about it!

About Me!
I am a Quad City mom of 2 amazing boys, and I am married almost 23 years to an absolute dream boat! Life is good. My family is used to me following them around with a camera, never letting a moment of life pass me by. My passion for life and a desire to not ever miss a thing led me to want to share my love of photography with others.
I’d love to capture your memories. Let’s chat about your vision and book a session that fits your style and budget.
