Meet Barbara
Personal photographs are these amazing pieces of history that we hold between our fingers, put in picture frames, make space on our mantles, and hang on our walls to display. Years from now when we look back on the events and moments in our lives, we have these photographs that show first steps and great loves, quiet moments and wild laughter.
As a certified professional photographer who has operated a business for over 20 years, we help busy women to capture the family milestones and special events that make up our lives. We know that capturing these epic moments of your lives matter, and we are so grateful to partner with you to create images, photographs, and artwork that you love. Capturing you today allows your legacy to live on when you share it with friends, family, and generations to come.
Every time I click the shutter, we get to celebrate that magical moment of your children hugging, your parents laughing, your friends smiling, your colleagues celebrating.
Before I opened my photography business, I taught 1st grade (I hold an MEd), served in the US Army Reserves (it was a calling), met and married the love of my life (I can capture great love because I know great love), and worked to connect people with their goals and passions (my life’s work).
I believe in creating photographs to inspire people to share their memories. Sometimes, the little moments and the little things…those turn out to the be the big things.
I look forward to photographing your family and your special events because I believe that the details of our lives matter.
