Photographs have always been so meaningful and special to me! I remember being 4 years old, carrying around a tan colored 110 camera that proudly displayed "Coke" in red letters naming the place of my father's employment. Every year we visited my grandparents in Arizona and I would carefully document every moment with that reliable little camera.
As I got older, this didn't change - except for the fact that I had graduated on to a 35mm film camera and then finally a digital. On family trips and nights out, I would (and my husband would argue that I still do) incessantly ask family members to pose for pictures with various places to document our new experiences.
Four years ago, I bought my first digital DSLR camera for a photography class and I haven't looked back since! The moment I took my first shot I knew that I wanted to make this my life's work. I love working with people and seeing their bright smile when I have captured a moment that they will now treasure for a lifetime. Knowing that I got to be a part of their life, if just for a short time, makes everyday worth while!
I thank God for the opportunity to do what I love - this is my art, this is my joy, this is my love! Capturing all of the beauty in this world - one frame at a time.
I so look forward to meeting and working with you!
