I started my love for photography with a film camera and dark room. I learned every aspect of how a camera worked. It was totally mind blowing seeing my own work transition from a film strip to a piece of paper under solution. I never felt like I was doing classwork, it always felt natural and fun, so I decided to take off down the digital path learning from some of the very best bold and beautiful photographers around our country.
I was an elementary teacher for a little while, but once my babies were born I quickly realized time is a thief. I am now a stay at home mom living out my photography dream. I get to cherish all the sweet moments with my kiddos while capturing yours through a lens.
I met my husband when I was 15 years old. We are high school sweethearts who created a life together and have 2 beautiful children. I am photo obsessed, so everyone in my family soon realized how important taking a picture meant to me. It's not about looking perfect or posing in positions that feel uncomfortable, sometimes it's those spontaneous and authentic images my husband snaps on his phone of me cuddling the kids on the couch. We take advantage of our time with loved ones and I am here to stop time in its tracks one image at a time. That is my end goal with every couple and family I get to photograph. I live for the raw moments in time. Telling a story through photos is not hard when you live that story everyday.
I just can't wait to meet you
My college career led me to realize I have always loved being around kids and teaching them knew things, so I became an elementary teacher. I loved being in the classroom and may one day return, but life had other plans for me when I had my own kids to take care of. Now I am able to follow through with some life long dreams I have had as a photography!
