Photography & Travel

I'm the owner of Roots-N-Routes Destinations and Rustic Root's Photography.  

Whether you're planning a dream vacation, a family getaway, a cruise, or a magical theme park adventure, I'm here to make the planning process simple and stress-free. And when it's time to celebrate life's special moments, whether at home or after your travels, I'd love to capture them through timeless photography.

I believe the best memories are made through meaningful experiences and preserved through beautiful photographs. That's why I've combined my love for travel and photography, to offer a unique experience that helps you create unforgettable moments from start to finish.

When I'm not planning vacations or behind the camera, I'm spending time with my family and dreaming about our next adventure.

Thank you for stopping by! I look forward to helping you plan your next journey and capture the memories you'll treasure for years to come.

Parenthood is filled with irreplaceable moments that can slip away with time. I’m here to help you capture and keep them vivid.

Motherhood

Motherhood is my greatest adventure. It's found in the bedtime snuggles, the messy moments, the endless laughter, and the memories made together. As a mom of three, I understand how quickly the seasons of life pass, which is why I cherish every milestone, big and small.

Whether we're exploring new destinations or simply enjoying time together at home, I believe the most meaningful moments are the ones spent with people we love. My passion for photography and travel comes from desire to help other families create unforgettable experiences and preserve the memories that matter most.

At the heart of everything I do is family. Because one day, the photographs will become your treasures, and adventures will become the stories you'll tell for generations.

Photography

Photography is more than taking pictures, its preserving the moments that become your family's legacy. Every smile, embrace, celebration, and milestone tells a story worth remembering.

My goal is to create a relaxed, enjoyable experience where genuine emotions shine through. Whether it's a family session, couples, seniors, maternity, newborns, weddings, or life's special occasions, I'm passionate about capturing authentic moments you'll cherish for years to come.

Because long after the moments has passed your photographs become the memories you can hold onto forever.
