Child-led Photography In Bend Oregon


My approach is simple. I follow your family's lead. No stiff posing, no forced smiles. Just a comfortable space where your kids can relax and get comfortable, that is where the real magic begins. That is where the love shows up. The crazy giggles. The memories you wanted to save come out to play.

My Approach

My work is an expression of what I am most passionate about: storytelling, simplicity and human interaction.

What drives my photography passion



Growing up, my earliest photo was from when I was around 4. After losing my mom in 2020 and realizing how few photos we had together, I felt the weight of what was missing. Those gaps in a family story can never  be filled or replaced. I'm here to make sure your story stays.



MEET MY LOVELY FAMILY

They are my backbone, and source of happiness.

We are a reflection of the people who surround us. I'm proud and honored to have these 3 amazing humans as part of my life

The Story Behind Middle Moments Photography

 

Why Middle Moments Photography? Because the beginnings are unforgettable, and the endings stay with you long after they’ve passed.

But what about everything in the middle?

The moments that happen quietly, quickly, and beautifully while life is moving all around you.

The little kickboxer rolling and stretching inside you.

The tiny snuggles that feel small in the moment but enormous in memory.

The sugar-sweet moments from their very first birthday.

The giggles that come from tickle fights and chasing each other around.

These are the moments that make up your life, The middle moments.

The moments you’ll want to pause, savor, and remember forever.

That’s why I chose the name Middle Moments Photography, because the beginnings and endings are easy to remember, but it’s the middle moments that tell the true story of your family.
