Photography has been my hobby since I received my first camera on my 9th birthday. My favorite subjects are my daughters, Ella and Olivia, and my husband, Elliott. Our girls love to tell people, “My mama takes more pictures in one day than most people do in a year!” They’re right on many days!

I work part time as a School Psychologist, but my main job (and love) is being a mama and a homeschool teacher to my girls. Ella and Olivia have loved attending Artfields® for the past 2 years. After viewing the art, they choose their favorite pieces to reproduce (with their own spin) in their art journals. This is a fun way for us to incorporate our Artfields experiences into our homeschool lessons!
