I’m a mother, a wife, and a photographer.  I LOVE, ADORE, and am PASSIONATE about people who are excited to have their images created.  Be fearless, fun, brave and daring!

Me & my husband

I am a hopeful dreamer.  I love reading (and listening to audio) books, let me know if you have a good recommendation.   I love chocolate (not too much of a surprise, I know).  I enjoy sewing and am an interior and clothing designer wannabe.   I am a blog stalker and can’t get enough of absorbing amazing photographs.  And even though I resist and resist, I am becoming a facebook and twitter junkie

While I was photographing a family I took a quick snap of the mother and daughter sitting together.  It was a close-up of their faces next to each other.  Ever since that moment I wanted a portrait of me with my mom and 2 sisters, and I finally got everyone together and we took some really great photos.  Those photos mean so much to me, I cried when I saw them and still feel that emotion when I look at them now.  I am so happy that I finally have them and I wish we had done it sooner and more often.  Like most people I don’t get photographs of the people and things that are most important in my life, especially before they change or are gone forever.

I love being behind the lens and photographing people & emotion – more than anything else including landscapes – I love photographing people.

So…enough about me, I can’t wait to talk to you and help you realize your vision!  My mission is to create lifetime treasures from once in a lifetime moments.

I’m a Canon girl.  When I decided to go digital I researched the options available and Canon was the best choice for me.  I have purchased most of my gear online at B&H Photo Video and locally at Pixels Foto & Frame.  In addition to various gadgets (a couple of tripods, flash mounts, various cords, batteries, etc that I usually don’t use) this is what I have with me at every shoot:
