The Person

Well first of all, I try not to take myself too seriously, so it's hard for me to think about what I want to say about myself! I grew up in Florida with a large family. My enitre family has Art running through their veins. My Grandfather was a professional photographer, Mom and Dad both have artistic qualities, and I think all of my sibblings have a knack for being creative one way or another! So here I am, married with children and wondering how in the world am I going to channel my passion into something beautiful, productive, fulfilling, and find bliss all at the same time!? But seriously, I sometimes feel like photography is my drug.

I am 6 years married with three sweet boys, 4, 2, and 5 months. (I'm going to have to keep that updated...). I love my family dearly, I love my Heavenly Father and going to church, I'm a good girl, and I never INTEND to offend anybody :) I'm very gullible, goofy, and an all around happy-go-lucky person.

The Photographer

Why Photography? Oh goodness, I need an outlet, I LOVE people, I love love, and I LOVE adorable little baby fat rolls. I HAVE to create, I can't breathe without that. Though being a full time mom and homemaker takes up most of my time and energy, I just can't keep myself from obsessing and dreaming about being an amazing wedding Photographer. Over the past 4 years in the wedding industry, I feel like I've become a regular wedding junkie! By recognizing the latest styles and wedding trends, I am prepared to capture everything that is unique and beautiful at your wedding and wrap it all up into an amazing timeless package. And that amazing package is the work of art you will walk away with when the day is all said and done. How well do you want to remember it?

Jordan & Rachel: E-Session

Tuesday, March 4, 2008 Posted in Engaged

So, my family and I woke up this moring feeling the sore throat-grogy head thing that’s been going around. With some quick thinking, my husband calls his Mother who came up and helped us out! It was fabulous…lemme tell ya.

Thanks to her, I was able to sleep a bunch, and gather enough energy to shoot Jordan and Rachel’s engagement pictures! We had a blast, and speaking of counting your blessings, the clouds opened a little and stopped raining just enough to let us do it in the first place. So, it was meant to be. Jordan and Rachel were naturals when I just let them be. Rachel is just a great person with a great family, and Jordan is very real and a down to earth guy. Come to find out, I took art classes at the same community college that he had, so we got to share a little gossip about our good ‘ol Instructors (I really did enjoy all of my art teachers!!).

So, this is just a sneak peek. I tried some fun new places out here in Monmouth/Independence, and I’m also trying some new digital effects, even a little texture on one. Let me know what you think!
