What do you specialize in?

I am a Maternity, Lifestyle Newborn and Family Photographer

How did you first get started in photography?

Like many, I was a mom with a good camera. It wasn’t until a long time photographer told me that I had a “natural eye and ability” that I decided to pursue photography as a career. Now I strive to capture for other moms the moments I cherish and the moments I missed with my own girls.

How has using Iris impacted your business?

I have been using Iris for 3 years. Iris helps me keep everything in one place! Once a client fills out the questionnaire I can go to a session knowing everyone’s names and all they love about their kids. I can easily send my guides to inquiries, follow up, book sessions and send contracts. My favorite Iris feature are the contracts. I love having everything in once place. Though, the calendar is a life saver too.
