Wife, mother of three, originally from Japan, now living in Indiana.

Growing up, my parents were usually behind the camera.  They documented milestones, but they were rarely in the frame.  I only have a few photos of myself as a baby with my mom or dad.  Those few images mean more to me than I can explain.  That realization shaped the way I photograph families today.

I have always loved photographs, but becoming a mother in 2018 changed everything.  I understood how much I wanted portraits not just of my baby, but with my baby, and as a family together. Photography preserves love and connection in a way memory alone cannot.

My sessions are relaxed and documentary inspired.  I focus on natural light, genuine interaction, and the in-between moments the ones you don’t plan, but the ones you will miss most.

These years move quickly.  They deserve to be remembered.  I would be honored to tell your family’s story.
