A little bit about me…
When I am not behind a camera...
I am a mother to four boys, three fur babies, and a lizard. I am also a wife to my best friend of 12 years and a registered nurse specializing in emergency medicine as well as aesthetics.
I consider myself much more to many others now that my clients have allowed me to become a part of their families by capturing their memories. I am grateful beyond words to have two careers that allow me to be a part of these amazing families. The love that surrounds me is priceless and I could not ask for more in life.
A few silly tidbits about me...
I have a bachelors degree in nursing, I am obsessed with animals of all kinds, my sign is Cancer, my favorite color is pink, I'd rather have a home made gift then a store bought any day, I love to remodel, demolish and rebuild all thanks to Pinterest. I dread the cold and I mean dread so if I am photographing you in the winter time then that means I really like you! I am not a fan of being on the other side of the camera unless I am making silly faces. I will never let you down, especially when it comes to your memories and me capturing them, unless it is unsafe! My mind is always going, especially when it comes to business or creating! When you meet me, you may see me dressed to the nines, in a pair of jeans, or in scrubs. What keeps me going is my faith in the Lord, my family that I love with everything in me, the solid belief that my father is watching over us daily, and the fact that everything happens for a reason.
The way I view the world around me...
I'd like to believe my passion shows through each image I take, because it's not just a picture to me, it's a story. This is not just a job to me, this is a passion. You may catch me with a grin on my face while photographing looking at my images with a "yes" or an "ahhhh" under my breath and those are the reactions I hope you feel when you look at your images each and every time. I want you to remember that moment of your session or wedding like it was yesterday when you look back at each picture in years to come. I want you to fall in love with your photos when you see them for the first time and every time after that!
I believe life is precious and short. It can be taken in an instant. I believe in love, lots of hugs, and happily ever after! Some say I live in a fantasy land but I believe if I work hard enough and I put my dreams out in the universe they will happen. I will never give up on what I believe in and I will never stop reaching for my goals. With that said, I believe in hard work and giving my clients my all!
My Style of shooting...
My style is candid and photojournalistic. I shoot in manual and prefer to natural lighting over studio lighting any day however I am equipped and trained for both. I love to capture real life moments rather than posed because to me, that is where the true story is told. You may see me rolling around on the ground, hanging upside down, jumping in the river, exploring through abandoned buildings ...if need be that is.
What I carry in my bag...
I am a Canon girl although with my lenses vary. I believe in ALWAYS having at least two camera bodies at all times because you never know when one will malfunction. I shoot with a 5D Mark III, Mark II and 50D. My lenses consist of Canon 70-200mm f2.8 II IS, Canon 24-70mm f2.8, Tamron 10-24mm, Tamron 18-270mm f3.5-6.3, 28-135mm, Canon 50mm f1.8. Two Canon speed lights 600EX, 430 EX, Promaster 7500 EDF, Pocket Wizards, Strato 2 Trigger sets, SD cards, batteries, chargers out the wazoo and other accessories that every photographer must have including full coverage insurance. My studio lighting consists of a mix of Novatron and AlienBees.
