Personal Work

You've found MY WHY: The reason I picked up a camera.

My love of photography began in high school with a class using film camera (I know--a looooong time ago, right?) learning the art of taking snapshots then developing images in a dark room. I was always inspired watching images literally appear on the paper from darkness. The art of it leaving me speechless. 

My love and curiosity for photography grew immensely when we had our first baby--because of my great desire to capture our story as new parents, his moments experiencing everything for the first time. Every moment. The big ones AND the little ones in between.

My passion grew like wildfire and I devoted myself to capturing art and magic of every day. I took my camera with me everywhere for an entire year. Taking at least one picture every day. Reading. Learning. Documenting. Creating.

I found that my passion lies in the extraordinary captures of life's STORIES.

My stories. My kids' stories. My family's stories.

It's what led me to telling WEDDING STORIES: the most incredible, momentous, memorable moment of a lifetime. There are the big moments like the first kiss as husband and wife, but there are also the simple, quiet, in-between moments like stealing a moment alone after the ceremony. These photos write the FULL story of a wedding day. Freezing each precious moment in time--so even as life changes, you can hold on to the memories for all the years to come. I would be thrilled to be YOUR storyteller.
