It's me, Claudette!


Growing up, we never had family portraits taken. My parents did not invest for yearly family photos, and it always concerned me.  It saddened me for not being able to look back our best moments as a family. I think of having photos as visual reminders of the people you love and looking at your family’s faces brings you joy. After having a family on my own, I told myself that it’s time to start a new tradition, one that will continue to grow in value for my children’s future generation.

 

Few years ago, I started my photography journey when I was a stay-at-home mom, a hobby that turned to passion to document my kids grow every day and this passion of mine has continued to grow as well as my business. With the love for photos and everyday moments, I realized that I loved helping other families hold onto their moments with meaningful photos as much as I loved creating them for my own. Capturing families grew my heart. As a mom, I know every minute of the day matters.

  

 

 

SESSIONS WITH ME ARE FUN AND RELAXED.

As a mom, the last thing you need is added stress over planning a photography session! I TOTALLY GET IT! My goal is to help you enjoy your session with a little guidance from me to create the perfect shot and walk away with beautiful images of you and your family.

I want to give you timeless images that focuses on capturing joy, genuine connections, and finding the beauty in chaos coz these are the moments that matter. Days are only short and you don’t want to miss documenting them.

 All you have to do is show up and relax. I’ll take care of the rest.

I believe documenting beautiful imperfections and your time together is a priceless gift to enjoy for generations.

I would love to meet you! Let’s work together!

Oh, did I mention I also work in Preschool?

 If I’m not photographing clients, I’m assisting in my preschool classroom in one of the school districts here in St. Charles County.
