Uncover, Curate, Preserve Your Story
Your Legacy, Your Vision Journey
Life is full of moments that shape who you are, and we each want to leave a memorable, impactful legacy that lasts beyond our lifespan.
Maybe you’ve reached a point where life feels a little out of focus, or you’re looking to uncover and preserve the stories that have shaped your family; perhaps you’re yearning to uncover the story behind old photographs.
Your legacy isn’t just about memories—it’s about your story, your vision, and your journey, one that only you can create.
I’m on a mission to help you uncover and define your legacy, not just what you leave behind but through how you live today. A legacy goes beyond material possessions; it’s the impact of our lives, the memories we leave, and the stories we have that will last for generations.
Whether you want to:
- Uncover, curate, and preserve your chapter and your family’s heritage or
- Discover, recharge, and clarify your life vision
Your Vision Journey is unique, and I’m here to guide you.

Together, we’ll explore your vision and uncover and curate your personal or family legacy. I’m not here to offer one-size-fits-all solutions but an authentic, genuine partnership; are you ready to create a legacy that reflects who you are and the story you want to share with the world?

I had two large group photographs at a print shop to be copied for our church. Well, the print shop was flooded leaving the photographs damaged and stained. I contacted Cheryl about restoring them. The restoration was exceptional!
“I have been watching the video from my Vision Journey Experience over and over again!! It is so beautiful and touches my heart, reminding me of God’s love and Grace in choosing me before the foundations of the world to be His very own daughter and part of his Kingdom; the experience transformed me”
Cheryl not only taught me things I needed to know about photography, but she challenged me which gave me the confidence to continue growing as a photographer and she was always available to help and support me. For a year she held the vision I had for my photography business. She provided all the tools and countless resources for a solid foundation. Today, I am confident and relaxed in my business. My advice, if you’re stuck, feel you need more, and someone you can trust to be “all in”, Cheryl’s the one to call.

I’m a passionate, type-A, restless redhead with a tendency to have a sarcastic sense of humor, and always up for a challenge. I’m 27 but trapped in a much older body, but I refuse to grow up; I want to have fun and find humor in everything.
There’s that adrenaline rush when I’m at the edge of my boundaries – especially if it’s doing something out of the ordinary. I set my mind on what I want and figure it out. I don’t sit still very well, or ever; maybe it’s the ADHD. I’m a doer and usually the one told to “shush,” slow down, and relax when I’m excited and passionate about something.
My calling for my photography has blossomed into a multi-faceted “career 2.0” as my two life-long passions bubbled up undeniably. First is my love for our past and uncovering stories of people, places and things. I have always loved teaching on these topics, fixing old photos and other projects that preserve our family stories as I am also curating 4 generations my family’s heritage; and let’s not forget my new addition, genealogy. I also am passionate about empowering women which comes from my love of Jesus and ALL the work He’s done in my life through the power of photography.
I’m a foodie, especially when someone else cooks it for me.
I’ve been married to a wonderful (world’s most patient) man for over 38 years and the proud Mom of our stunning adult daughter and two Maine Coon cats.
Life is a vision journey and a legacy in the making – ready to join me?
