Hello! I'd consider myself an observer and a people watcher. I enjoy capturing subtleties others may not notice in life. With Paper Heart Pixie my aim is to freeze those fleeting moments that may pass us by in such a hurried world we live in.

I'm a lover of art; Photography has been something that has interested me since I was a kid tinkering with my Polaroids. I am often inspired by my dreams; Being a visually creative person and somewhat of a day dreamer, photography has been a way for me to communicate with the world around me. My hope is to leave something beautiful behind in my own way.

A big part of my world and inspirations are my family, friends and my beautiful, precocious daughter, Juniper. Watching my little Junebug's journey in life humbles & amazes me in every way.
Being a Mom has really inspired me to specialize in Maternity, Newborn, Children and Family portraiture.

Some of my other loves include: frolicking with the wee faerie folk, sipping on peppermint tea, being a foodie, painting, crafting, creating headbands and getting completely lost in music.
Looking forward to meeting you and your family and I hope to be able to share my vision and light with you!
