My Why


I believe in love, living your best life and family legacy. I innately inherited my passion for photography from my father, a hobbyist photographer.  My mother also took tons of photos of my siblings and I with her trusty Kodak.  

Photography is my birthright.  

My superpower is freezing time!  I have the ability and the privilege of capturing images for people that value documenting their “Big Day”, or any unforgettable moment.

My love for photography blossomed when I bought my first DSLR in November 2007, my beloved Nikon D40.  I saw a Nikon commercial about a small town photographer, and the fire was lit! Off to the store I went to purchase a camera. And I've been photographing ever since.   

In the fall of 2008, I worked for Lifetouch Preschool Portraits which ultimately helped me develop as a photographer. It was with Lifetouch, where I truly discovered my love for photographing people. I decided to take that passion and invest in creating my business and love for photography.

I am drawn to rich, natural colors, candid frames and natural lighting.  I take a photojournalistic approach to photography.  I document the beat of the event, from the tear-jerking moments to the moments where everyone is erupting with laughter and joy.  I am a sucker for details.  I love capturing the invitations, the shoes, the bow ties, the tux and THE DRESS.  Don’t worry, I will get those traditional photos for your as well.

Because of photography, I obtained the ability to see the world in a different light. Finding the beauty in the simple things…Simply seeing with your heart and loving what you see.
