It all started when..

My passion for photography started when I was young and has led me to appreciate how light can dance with shadows and color can bring an emotion to the surface. As a Photographer, I not only love to capture that dance, I also love tell a story. I invite you to go on a journey with me, to get as lost in the story as I did in the creativity.

I was 12 years old when I bought my first SLR camera, a Minolta Maxxum 7000. One day I was shopping with my Mom and saw this camera. I could not stop thinking about it and made up my mind, I had to have it! Back in the good ole days K-Mart would let you purchase items on a lay-a-way plan. Every week I would use my babysitting money and go make a payment until…..one of my happiest days…..I had paid for my camera in full and it was all mine. Today, this camera sits on my cabinet as a reminder that we all start somewhere. With passion, the right mentors and persistence, I learned I could capture all that was significant to me and that my future was going to be full of many adventures.

Experimenting with lights and shadows + catching that perfect colorful scenery has always been something that I have enjoyed and have been drawn to. I love the experience of capturing a mood and holding it still in a photograph forever.

My husband and I have a beautiful daughter and love to travel, creating perfect photographic opportunities!

We live in a beautiful world that changes daily.

Photography creates space for me to see the world life shows me and I love sharing it with others.
