What areas do you serve?
I’m based in Belfry, Kentucky and regularly photograph in Pikeville, Kermit, Lenore, Logan, Williamson and the surrounding Eastern KY & Southern WV area. A small travel fee may apply outside the Williamson/Belfry area.
When will I receive my photos?

What if my kids won’t cooperate?
As a mom of three, I promise — I’ve seen it all, and some of the best photos come from the in-between moments. Sessions are relaxed and child-led, so there’s no pressure for anyone to be perfect.
