ALL ABOUT becky

We believe in creating images that aren't just this year's social media post. I want to document and preserve your legacy. 

Our Vision

I document the earliest chapters of motherhood with intention and respect—for the season when your body is growing new life, for the fragile first weeks when everything feels both tender and overwhelming, and for the years that follow as your children grow into themselves. These moments are fleeting, and I treat them with the care they deserve.

Children are not props, and motherhood is not something to “perform” for the camera. My work is designed to honor the reality of this season while transforming it into heirlooms that tell the full story of your family—beautiful, honest, and enduring.

My approach is grounded in experience. With 15 years as a professional photographer and the lived perspective of raising two energetic boys, I understand how families actually move, connect, and unravel a little in front of the lens. I design sessions that allow children to be exactly who they are. The joy, the noise, the silliness—it’s not something to manage away. It’s something I know how to photograph well.

You don’t need perfectly behaved children or a polished version of motherhood. You need a photographer who knows how to lead calmly, read the room, and create space for real connection. That is the foundation of my work—and the reason the images feel timeless long after the moment has passed.

About becky

For years, I paid close attention to what families actually needed from their photographs—not what the industry normalized, but what truly serves them long after the session ends. I saw a quiet problem most people don’t realize until it’s too late: images delivered and forgotten, memories stored but not preserved.

Digital files are essential, and I include them intentionally in every collection. But they are not the legacy. Technology changes. Storage fails. Passwords get lost. Files disappear. I’ve watched families assume their memories were safe simply because they lived in the cloud—until they weren’t.

I design my work around a different outcome.

Children do not grow up cherishing folders on a hard drive. They grow up seeing themselves on the walls. They flip through albums. They absorb the quiet message that they belong here, that their story matters. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through physical photographs, thoughtfully created and intentionally preserved.

This is why my business is built around heirloom-quality artwork, not just image delivery. I lead families through a process that turns photographs into tangible pieces of their home and history—albums meant to be held, framed prints meant to be lived with, artwork designed to last for generations.

You don’t need to figure out how to preserve your memories on your own. You don’t need to know what to print, where it should live, or how to make it timeless. That is my role. I guide every decision so nothing meaningful gets lost to time or technology.

The result is not just beautiful photographs. It’s peace of mind. It’s knowing that years from now, your children won’t need a password to remember their childhood—they’ll simply open a book or look at the walls and see themselves there.

While my thumbs might not quite be 100% green, I do enjoy growing cut flowers in the summertime and trying our best to keep our rose bushes alive.

YEARS

Through the

For me, photographs are all I have left of my mother.

She passed away when I was just 14, after a 13-year battle with brain cancer. That was 20 years ago, as of March 2025.

As a 19-year-old girl from rural Oklahoma, she fell in love with my dad while he was stationed nearby in the military. Their love took them across the world—to Greece, where my oldest brother was born—before they settled on the East Coast. I was their youngest, born a decade after my siblings.

Before I even turned one, she was given only a year to live. And while I do remember the hospital visits and the seizures, what stands out most are the simple, beautiful moments—gardening together, baking in the kitchen, marveling at flowers in bloom. I remember the way her love wrapped around me. I remember the way she loved others. What a gift.

And now, as a mother myself, I understand all too well how easy it is to hide behind the camera, to focus on capturing everyone else. But here’s the truth: we do our families a disservice when we erase ourselves from the story.

Motherhood is a story worth documenting—the quiet moments, the belly laughs, the way your hands cradle your baby bump, and the wonder of those first few weeks earthside. It’s a fleeting, beautiful journey, and I want to help you preserve it. Because these moments? They are treasures, and they deserve to be remembered.

With 15 years of experience as a photographer—and as a mom to two wild and wonderful little boys—I know firsthand how quickly time moves. I know the silly, the sweet, the chaos, and the love that fills your days. And I know how important it is to freeze those moments before they slip away.

Photographs are more than just images; they are the tangible proof of the love we give and receive. They become heirlooms, a way for our children to look back and feel just how deeply they were loved.



One day, these photographs will be more than just pictures—they will be proof. Proof of your love, your presence, your warmth. Proof that you were here, loving them through every single season.

And that? That is a gift worth giving.
