I  believe in creating images that remind you of the best moments in life. 

The small moments matter the most
A family's love is never ending

Preserving your family legacy is easy to do in these times of cell phones and digital frames. But printing those images out, hanging them on your walls, and making them into albums to flip through is so important.

Not only will you want those images to look back on years down the road, studies show that kids who have pictures of themselves and their families displayed in their homes have higher self-esteem.

WHY IT MATTERS

I help you preserve your family's legacy with photos that capture your life and loved ones. 

Life moves quickly, your babies grow up in the blink of an eye, and special occasions are over way too soon. I can help you savor those precious memories for years to come, whether you're expecting your first baby, want to capture your newborns tiny details, or preserve the toothless grin of your six year old.

Make everyday moments last forever.

My sons were born in 2003 and 2005, we moved from VA to FL, and I started Merriment Photography.

After my first semester in college, I changed my major to journalism so that I could take dark room classes and study photography.
