My Story

Hey Love!

I’m a country girl at heart. Raised on a farm as the youngest of six kids, I always wanted to be a teacher and a momma.

My husband and I met and fell in love in college, both becoming teachers and moving back to my home town. Guess where we ended up? Building a house right on the farm that I grew up on. That’s right, my friends, farm houses have been my obsession long before Fixer Upper!

Interior design in one of my favorite hobbies, I am the first one family and friends call when they start a new home project. I could go on all day about white wash and the many shades of blue that cover our house!

Over a decade later, we have two sweet girls, a basset hound named Darla (aka my third child), and a few chickens in the mix. Our home is where my heart is, and my studio as well!

Photography was far from my mind when we welcomed our first daughter, but I quickly fell in love with documenting all those fleeting little details.

I feel so honored to spend my days with the tiniest miracles and learning each family’s story.  The way that daddies swoon over their babies, those little details that change so quickly, and the love in a new momma’s eyes are what make my career so satisfying.

Thank you SO much for stopping by!  I would love the opportunity to meet you and swoon over your little one (yes, ever time!)!

Thank you, Kate Mannella Photography for the photos!
