Why Slumberland Photography?

Fourteen years ago, when I started this business, I did some of my best creative work while my kids were resting in Slumberland. Today, I still love pursuing those creative endeavors, but now it is alongside those same kids! Seeing life from their perspective has been one of the best experiences of my life. They help me laugh and love more than I could have imagined. My desire to capture as much of their lives as I can through my lens has driven me to do that for other moms like you, too. I'd love to help document your kids' memories from their toddler years until the day they brave the world on their own and everything in between. That is just a glimpse of what I bring to photo sessions. That is why Slumberland Photography exists. That is why I do this; because I am a mom who is in love with my kids and I know you are, too.
