About

I am the heart and soul behind Nightingale and Willow Photography.  I need coffee paired with my oxygen and Jesus paired with my soul. I crush on my husband like we are still newlyweds, I sing and dance while I clean my house, and I will probably say something super awkward during the first five minutes that I meet you.

Capturing moments that tell your family's unique story is my passion. From the first days of your baby's life to the joyous chaos of family gatherings, I aim to freeze those fleeting moments in time, allowing you to relive them again and again.



Motherhood is a journey filled with both beauty and challenges. As a dedicated motherhood educator, I'm here to empower you with knowledge and support. Through workshops, resources, and personalized guidance, I strive to help mamas navigate this incredible adventure with confidence and grace.



In a world that constantly pulls us in different directions, I advocate for the beauty of being present. Being a hands-free mama means cherishing the moments without distractions, embracing the simplicity, and relishing the precious bond with your little ones. I'm here to share tips, tricks, and inspiration to help you savor every moment of motherhood.


With two neurodiverse kids and being neurodivergent myself, I passionately promote understanding and acceptance of all neurological differences. This unique perspective, along with my experiences, has given me profound insights into the beauty of diverse minds and the importance of inclusion. By fostering an inclusive environment, we can create a world where everyone's unique strengths are celebrated and utilized to their fullest potential.
