Meet the artist Nancy!

Capturing this special time in your life has been the honor & joy working with clients.  

Nancy loves creating maternity portraiture so clients can see their beauty, strength, love, and connection with their baby they carry.  That love carries onto family portraiture, creating all the moments in time with your growing family.  The fun & energy of HS seniors has always been a vital part of the cliental.

Being a mom of two daughters, I know the joy, the difficult, the fun, and the excitement of pregnancy & raising a family.  Never a dull moment in life, and I would not want it any other way!

The legacy of portraits has been a passion of mine for years.

Highly recommend
Nancy is incredible! Her studio maternity sessions are glamorous, with a plethora of gorgeous European gowns to pick from. She made it fun and I felt like a pregnant goddess during the shoot. Not only that, but Nancy also accommodated us for outdoor forest pictures with our dog and was patient with him when he wasn’t being the most cooperative. They turned out amazing and we will treasure these maternity pictures forever ❤️ Would highly recommend, maternity or otherwise!

Master with a camera!
We've had several sessions with Nancy over the years. She's professional in every way and delivers beautiful portraits every time. She's a master behind the camera but helps guide you through each step of the way, start to finish. Our daughters hs senior session and portraits, was amazing once again!

Expertise & Guidance!
Nancy is absolutely phenomenal to work with. I don’t often have professional pictures taken of myself, and she made me feel beautiful, comfortable, and the pictures turned out absolutely astonishing thanks to her expertise and guidance. I love everything she offers- and loved every second of my maternity shoot. Her process for choosing pictures also helped tremendously- she is so fun and knowledgeable about the entire process from start to finish. Would highly recommend Nancy to anyone- 110% worth every penny. Thank you, Nancy! 😊

Something special!
I knew I was coming into a very special moment when I asked Nancy to capture maternity images of myself & two daughters, with the third coming.   She helped us feel completely normal in front of the camera & made the moments into poetry, fun, beautiful, & creative.  These images I will treasure forever!

Nancy was absolutely a pleasure to work with. She was quick to answer emails, and she always had an answer to everything. She took time with each of our seniors and asked for their input for what they wanted in their photos. She took so many pictures, and it was very difficult to narrow down our favorites because there were many great pictures. I highly recommend Nancy, you will not be disappointed.

I connected with Nancy through an organization she donates her time towards helping veterans transition from the military, Portraits for Patriots. She was wonderful, and her photos reflected the professional care and empathy that are core to who she is. Highly recommend.
