About Me

It's not hard to tell... "I LOVE WHAT I DO!"

I am very blessed to be able to share my passion of photography to document life's moments. I love photographing the moments that are REAL, the moments in between the posed portraits.

These moments are the defining moments of who you really are.

"Let us tell your story," through photographs that will document your life's moments for years to come.

-WHY I LOVE PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY-

I LOVE WEDDINGS!

To be a part of the wedding day and being able to capture the emotion and moments that define the day. I feel honored to be a part of one of the most important days in a couples life. Communication is key in any relationship and I am happy when I can make a couple comfortable around me to just relax and be themselves. It is a great feeling when the bride and groom become friends and they let me into their lives to understand who they really are. That is the moment I can begin to "tell their story".

I LOVE ENGAGEMENTS!

I love getting to know each of my wedding couples better by photographing their engagement session. It is a great opportunity to get to know them and begin to learn and "tell their love story". Engagement sessions are a time for the couple to go and have fun and capture the moments that they love to do together.

I LOVE KIDS!

To photograph a child is priceless. The expressions that come from kids when they are so innocent is so much fun to capture. They are shy, daring, quite, noisy ~ full of life. I love photographing most children outside or in familiar surroundings. Kids really open up when they have room to explore.

I LOVE NEWBORN BABIES!

To see the twinkle in a newborns eyes and to see the never ending smile of a new mother or father in the first few weeks of life is truly magical.

I LOVE FAMILIES!

To see a family get to be a family together, laugh together, play together and embrace moments together is inspiring. My favorite thing for families is getting to go on a family adventure; a trip to the park, a hike through the canyon, or a night by the fire reading stories.

I LOVE SENIORS!

So many of the seniors that I have photographed in the last years I have watched grow up. It's amazing how fast high school goes by sometimes. It feels like I was just there myself, but counting back the years I've ran out of fingers on my hands. 

If I have not had the pleasure of knowing a senior before their graduation debut, most return in the following years with engagement rings or families to let me help them capture their new life moments.

I am thankful for my college professors Steve Babbit and Jerry Rawlings for showing me the skills and knowledge that began what my carer has unfolded into today. They both gave me the strength in my personal life and in my photography to pursue my dreams. Without them I would not have the opportunity to realize I could have my dream full time.

I am thankful for my family. My parents for being the best they know how and always offering an ear to listen to my dreams and latest ideas. To my brother, one of my best friends, for being my protector and encourager. To my in-laws for always seeing my strengths and helping a hand in any way that they can. For my friends who support my passion for photography and always let me be myself!

And most of all for my husband, Chris. He is my solid rock, my love of my life and my very best friend. He shares my passion for photography and love of the outdoors and arts. He is encouraging, inspiring, motivating and forgiving. (I love you)

I am passionate about life, family, friends and my photography!
