who am i. | Barefoot Moments

I have been called an overly ambitious busy-body, constantly on the go, rarely making time for herself.

Yeah, that's ya girl!

Never ending dreams of success for this brand + business.

I am incredibly obsessed with Autumn, Harry Potter, Disney, + probably listening to 2000's punk, hip hop, or 80's music when I pull up to your session, hell maybe even a little country. You are going to get a little bit of everything out of me!

I am happily married to my sweetie, who asked me to be his girlfriend after only knowing me for like 30 minutes, a whole ten years ago and a half. We have three sweet, very rotten fur babies - Bella, Luna, Jinx. 1 pup + 2 kitties. My spooky babies. We are officially a mama + daddy to 2 little ladies. We are heartbreakingly blessed to have a guardian angel baby watching over us. We lost our Charlie boy December 2020 + it has forever changed us. We have grown a lot through that trauma + now look forward to becoming parents to our little girl even more.

Columbus, OH is home. O-H-I-O has our hearts. However we long to spread our wings + adventure.

I picked up the camera when I was only thirteen, and I haven't put it down since. Still making my friends model for me, still forcing my little sisters to smile and laugh, but now I get to share my passion with my lovely clients like you! From capturing those toes in the grass, to that giggle kiss with your honey, I am here for you.

So let's schedule our session and get to know each other! We can dance to some Fall Out Boy while we run barefoot through a field.

When I was 19, I decided to say SCREW IT to all my original plans... picked back up a camera for the first time since high school + decided that I was going to make it my dream, goal + future. I didn't know what I wanted this to become or even that some people specialize in certain areas in photography.

I knew that I loved looking at people through the lens, being creative + experimenting. Then I learned how much I loved the stories behind the people.

Many years of trying, working non stop + trying to achieve my goals have led me to this version of me + my brand!

Life is way too short + things can happen so quickly... document EVERYTHING.

Capture the real + raw moments.

Never take these moments too seriously. Just have fun, play, + show how you really are behind closed doors.

Leave each session with a new bond with my clients. Every time a client returns for another session, my heart MELTS.

Photograph my clients in a way they didn't realize they could be seen. The way their eyes sparkle when they're laughing, how the sun hits their cheeks, etc.

To be your friend at the end of the day.

If we can't get along + have a good time, then there is something wrong. Let's joke, dance, + have a good time!

Let's make sure you have a good experience, especially because everyone starts sessions out SO NERVOUS for no reason. By the end of your session, you're going to be all smiles and giggles.
