The face and heart behind Iris and Oak Photography. I'm a weirdo that is addicted to coffee, Friends, Indian food, collecting plants, and I'm a huge animal lover. I'm a proud mama to 3 littles, a toddler and twin babies! I absolutely adore my two big hairy doggos! I'm happily married to my best friend and biggest supporter, Phil.
If you are looking for an easy-going & adventurous photographer, I'm your girl! Let me start off by making a few promises to you. During your session expect to hear a million compliments, snuggle your fam, hear some silly things from me to get your kids to laugh, and interact with your family in whatever way feels most natural to you. I want to capture the realness and rawness of your family, the genuine connection. Everyone deserves photos they love, and I want to give them to you.
I got started as most moms do, taking pictures of my own little one. I wanted to capture all the precious moments of my daughter that I could because as parents, we know how fleeting these moments can be. My husband gifted me a camera and that's when things start to click for me. I soon realized how much I enjoyed the creativity of photography and the passion I felt as I captured the love and connection between families.
As a mom, I know just how important family pictures are, but I also know how stressful they can be too! My main goal is to have fun and capture your family just as you are. So come as you are! I want you to not only love your pictures but feel your pictures. To capture the authenticity and connection between you and your loved ones is what I strive for. I want you to cherish all the intimate moments and details shared. So get comfy, I am your new friend so don't be afraid to be yourselves.
I absolutely love pickles. If something is pickle flavored, I gotta try it!
I am a huge Potterhead. The books and movies are so darn good! I am a Hufflepuff.
One of my guilty pleasures is the Bachelor/Bachelorette franchise. I also love romcoms. I just love love!
While in college and graduate school, I was an early childhood educator. After receiving my Master of Social Work, I worked in hospitals helping people safely return home after their stay.
