Thank you for your interest in Flashlights & Fireflies Photography for your Senior Portraits!    

Want to know a little more about the face behind the lens?

I started my business in 2010 with the help of my amazing husband.   He is my right hand guy - you'll likely see him assisting at most of my sessions when he isn't working his real day job! Not only am I a wife, but also a mom to one incredible young guy, a daughter to parents who have shown me nothing but love and support all my years and a sister to a woman I'm lucky to call my best friend — and every one of those roles has shaped how I connect with people and tell their stories through my lens.

I love the simple things: golden hour light, genuine laughs, and those little in-between moments that capture exactly who you are. Senior year is such a big chapter, and it means the world to me to be part of it. This isn't just about photos — it's about celebrating you.

My biggest goal? For you to walk away from your session saying, “That was actually a lot of fun,” and looking at your photos thinking, “Wow, I look like a million bucks.”

Let’s create something that feels like you — real, effortless, and one of a kind.
