This blog post was inspired by a recent interview I had with Bold Journey, where I shared more about my life, values, and the heart behind my work as a Peoria, Il family, newborn, and maternity photographer.

If you’d like to read the full interview, where I talk more openly about my journey, values, and what shaped my approach to photography, you can find it linked here.

When you look back at your photos years from now, I want you to feel something.

I want you to remember how small their fingers felt wrapped around yours. How your baby fit so perfectly against your chest. How your family laughed together in a way that can’t be recreated.

These are the moments that often go undocumented — yet they’re the ones that shape our memories the most.

As a Peoria Il family photographer, my goal isn’t just to give you images for today, but keepsakes for the future. Photographs that grow more meaningful with time.

`If you’re ready to document the little moments before they slip by, I’d love to connect.
