PHOTOGRAPHY

Mother of 3 crazy beautiful kids, wife to my amazing husband, and now photographer/business woman, I have basically spent my entire 33 years of life in the hospitality industry.  My passion is photography, but my skills and talents definitely don't stop there!  

I have officially worked in the Hospitality Industry since I was 14 years old, but my parents ran and owned restaurants my entire life.  The customer service industry is engrained in me and I have experience in literally every position you could think of in a restaurant.  I started as a hostess/busser, working my way up to management in just about every place I worked, leading to my most recent and favorite position as General Manager of The Old Saloon in Emigrant, MT.  

Not only was I the GM of the Saloon, I also handled the social media for a few years.  My husband decided it was time to upgrade me from my iPhone camera to a "real" camera, and I began taking countless pictures of my kids along with their teammates and friends.  I LOVE the action shots of the kids playing their many sports, it's so fun capturing their talents!   It was then that I developed my deep love for photography which you can see in a lot of the photos pictured below and the slideshows throughout this website.  Over the past few years I've been building my portfolio by taking photos of not only my kids, but also friends & family's life events & milestones.   I've also had the opportunity to photograph sooo many of the Old Saloon's amazing concerts, food, and the historic Saloon itself, that is a staple of this community and has quickly become an iconic music venue since the current owners purchased it in 2016.  My photos have been published in online articles, on websites and in advertisements inside of the Big Sky Journal & Western Home Journal.   

In July of 2022, I made the terrifying yet incredibly exciting decision to move on from my successful, long-running career in the Hospitality Industry and really focus on photography & other projects I am currently involved in.  It's time for me to take control of my time & energy to fulfill my creative needs with things I am passionate about in order to have more time to spend with my family. 

I don't want you to like your photos, I want you to be IN LOVE with your photos...my hope is to capture every bit of energy and emotion so you re-live that moment all over again, and again each and every time you look at it.
