Behind The Camera

The Story of a Photographer

One of eight kids, there was always a lot happening, a lot going on, a lot to remember. I've never had the best memory but my parents did a wonderful job capturing the moments, the events and the special times. Looking back at all the pictures of my childhood inspires me to capture all I can of my children and family. Those images also push me to encourage my friends and clients to see the value of capturing the big and the little things, to see how fleeting life is, and to see the importance of preserving it beautifully.

I was gifted a camera when I was in middle school, I took it everywhere, took pictures of everything and everyone, and that is when I fell in love with photography. Through the years I have invested countless hours into my craft, into honing and shaping my skills behind the camera, into the entire enhancing process, into guiding my subjects, and creating not only beautiful but meaningful images that will last for generations.

Now as a mother and wife I am motivated to capture all the little things, the little fingers and toes, little smiles and grins, the birthdays and trips, and countless special moments throughout life's crazy journey.

My goal and main focus as a photographer is to create a fun and exciting experience while simultaneously capturing the smiles, laughs, and feelings of the big and little moments in life. I am always excited to try new things, to go new places, and meet new people in the name of moments and memories.
