I believe in real moments and chasing sunsets. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together. I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.
After graduating from Ivy Tech in 2006 with an Associates Degree in Photography, I started my own business, named after my son, Patton. Now, I’m based in the peaceful cornfields of Gibson County, where my husband Ian (a high school teacher and amazing cook) and our son Patton are my biggest supporters. When we’re not working, you’ll find us sipping coffee on our front porch, discovering local gems, or traveling wherever the next adventure takes us.
"I bought my first camera in High School with my first paycheck! "
I was born in a small town in Southern Indiana, but I’ve always had a love for traveling and exploring the world—whether it’s the energy of big cities, the serenity of mountains, or the beauty of beaches. This passion for adventure fuels my work as a wedding and portrait photographer, and I’m lucky to travel all over the world to capture love stories.
You will find me sitting on the front porch with a glass in hand. we built our little blue house in 2016 and love its quantness

our PROCESS
Born and raised in Southern Indiana, I was fortunate to grow up surrounded by incredibly talented and hardworking parents, which is where I believe my passion, creativity, and drive for photography come from. I graduated from Ivy Tech in 2006 with an Associate's Degree in Photography, and not long after, I decided to start my own business, naming it after my son, Patton. It’s safe to say that my two Pattons—my son and my business—are my greatest joys and motivators! Now, I’m settled in the quiet cornfields of Gibson County with my family.
our JOURNEY
We focus on vibrant, true-to-color imagery that feels natural and genuine—nothing overly staged, just real, candid moments that tell your story. We love blending modern techniques with a touch of film to give photos that extra layer of warmth and depth. My goal is to create images that not only stand the test of time but also bring back the emotions and memories of your day, no matter how many years pass.
