BEHIND THE LENS

ABOUT ling

Capturing natural and joy-filled images for young families.  

When I'm not behind the lens, you can find me reading on my kindle, cooking, working out or chauffeuring my kids around. I'm happily married to my best-friend for 13 years (and counting) and am a former elementary school teacher. I'm also a home body, and organization queen.

My role as a mom has taught me that at the end of the day, our possessions and daily stresses won’t matter. Instead, our kids will cherish the joyful experiences we shared—the trips, spa days, and special moments that shaped their childhood. Those memories are what they will hold close to their hearts. 

And I want nothing more than to help capture photographs that preserve the emotions and stories that define your family -- turning fleeting moments into lasting treasures.
