discovering their stories.
and
I've been interested in photography for as long as I can remember, starting as a child photographing flowers in my backyard. Just that simple gesture of preserving a moment in time is awe-inspiring to me. Being able to document someone's life through photographs is something that I do not take lightly! It is truly my life's calling and something I am super blessed to be able to do. Whether you are at the start of your story with your wedding or adding a new chapter with a little one on the way, I'd love to share in it.
"you are the hero of this story, I am just there to empower and guide you along the way."
Preserving family memories is so important to me (this is actually a photo of my grandparents on their wedding day in 1949!) We have several gallery walls in our house with all of our family photos, both new and old. I know how important it is to preserve these memories, and I take that very seriously.
Family Memories are Why I Do What I Do
Before I was a photographer, I was an English as a Second Language Teacher. As a wedding and family photographer there are several skills I still use from my time as a teacher (hello entertaining little ones and corralling relatives at family formals!) I also speak Spanish from my time as an ESL teacher.
I used to be a Teacher.
This is personally my favorite fun fact as our chickens give us endless entertainment! Need a laugh after a long day? Bring treats to the chickens and watch them all come running.
We own Chickens, and I love to Garden.
I'm a wife to a hard working husband and a mom to one sweet little boy. My car is a mess and I've come to realize that's not going to change. I'm embracing the chaos that comes with this stage of life.
I'm a wife and a mom
These are a few of my favorite things. Any free time I get, if I'm not editing photos or working in the garden, you can find me snuggled up with a book, cup of coffee in hand. If it's a nice day, I'm out in my kayak with family & friends.
I love reading, kayaking, & coffee
A true professional in every sense. In the days leading up to my engagement, she was responsive and enthusiastic, which gave me reassurance that everything would go according to plan.
