My favorite Place to be

You know that bucket list that lives in your brain? I have one too. Many years ago when I actually wrote mine down, becoming a professional photographer was at the top of my list. I knew nothing about photography, and I never had the opportunity to take a photography class.

Years later, my husband arrived home one day with a brand new DSLR in hand. I was SO angry with him - we could not afford a camera. It seemed over the top. But he insisted, and I decided to learn a thing or two about it.

A few months later a friend asked me to photograph her wedding - I declined - she insisted - I gave in - and I shot the wedding that would forever change my life.

Over fourteen years, hundreds of sessions, thousands of hours practicing and learning, and hundreds of thousands of images later, I cannot imagine my life as anything other than a professional photographer.  When I am behind the camera my world is at peace. I see beauty in moments, details, the world around me. I see colors and textures, layers, and hidden gems. Bringing what I see to your walls is the greatest honor I could ever imagine as a photographer.

My approach

Can I let you in on a little secret?

I'll admit it - I'm kind of a hot mess when I'm in front of a camera. But you know what? This fear of mine makes me good at my job. I know what it feels like to be a little uneasy about having your photo taken. This is why all my sessions are laid-back, playful, and fun. It's ok to laugh (PLEASE laugh!), it's ok to play, it's ok to be goofy. My job is to capture you in your element, and let's be honest, that won't happen if I'm asking you to turn your head 33.25 degrees to the left every five seconds.

During our time working together, I'll get to know about you and your comfort level in front of the camera. And no matter what your comfort level, I promise to create amazing images for you in a very low-pressure situation.

So, take a deep breath, because this photographer is all about being real, having fun, and making beautiful art for you to enjoy.
