My Beautiful Mama

I suddenly lost my Mama in October 2022 after a brief battle with cancer. A few days after having a biopsy and receiving a cancer diagnosis, she went into septic shock and in less than 2 weeks, my Mom went from feeling amazing and healthy to passing into glory. It came so quickly and my family and I were definitely not prepared for it. Once she passed, the first thing I reached for were tangible photos of her. 

In the years before her passing, I was happy to photograph my photo clients and hand over a disc of photos. But once she passed and I experienced losing one of my greatest treasures so quickly, I realized that I needed to be providing more than just digital files--that I needed to tell people's stories so that their Legacy lived on beyond their social media posts. 

My Mama was and still is so special to me. Her story has changed the way I view photography and has shaped the services I now provide through Legacy Story Photo Books. 

This photo I captured of her was used at her memorial service and was taken in a split second when the wind came up and blew her hair while she was standing in her backyard. It's like she was breathing the very breath of Heaven.

This is what professional photography and compassion does for you and your family's Legacy--Your memories are honored with so much love pouring out from a heart that has tasted loss and has been awakened to the importance of telling Legacies and stories.

I cannot even put into words the passion and burden I feel on myself to provide these services for as many people as I can. I have to! I need to! This is an overflow of that love and vision that came when she passed.

Why do I focus so much on Legacy Story Photo Books? Because I cannot allow another day to pass, another social media post, another cell phone to take a chance with your memories. They are too valuable and deserve to be honored well.
