**The Chaotic Crew That Made Me Your Dream Photographer**
That first family photo of all of us lined up on a sidewalk like some kind of beautiful disaster? Pure magic.** My youngest was 6 months old and still our foster son, and I remember thinking “dang, that’s a big family” – and my heart just exploded with happiness. Fast forward through years of chaos, and I still get just as giddy about our yearly family photos, even though my “babies” now range from 24 down to 6 years old.

Here’s the thing – I had my oldest when I was 14, so we basically grew up together through more adventures than any teen mom manual could prepare you for. But plot twist: he turned into one of my greatest accomplishments and honestly the best human you could ask for. Becoming a parent that young didn’t just define my life – it made me mature faster than a donut disappears around me, taught me what actually matters, and lit this fire under me to chase my dreams even harder.

These beautiful kids of mine molded me into the goofy mom who always wants more friends, dreams way too big, and sets goals that might be completely out of this world. But here’s the best part – they’re exactly why your photographer is the scattered, passionate, unapologetically extra version of herself that you’re about to book.
