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 very large family.  My entire family has art running through their veins.  My grandfather was a professional photographer, Mom and Dad both have artistic talents, and all of my siblings have a knack for being creative one way or another.  so here I am, married with children and wondering how in the world I'm going to channel my passion for creativity into something beautiful, productive, fulfilling, and find joy all at the same time?  So, photography became the answer and a much needed outlet.

I love people, I love love, and I love adorable little baby fat rolls!  I have to be creating beautiful things at all times.  Though being a full time mother and homemaker takes up most of my time, I just can't keep myself from dreaming about being an amazing wedding photographer.

The Photographer

Over the past five years in the wedding industry, I feel like I have become a regular wedding junkie!  By recognizing the latest styles and trends, I am prepared to capture everything that is unique and fabulous 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? 

Recently I have also reached one of my ongoing goals of being published in a national wedding magazine.  They are but two small pictures, but I am so blessed none the less (baby steps!).  You may recognize some images from Kyle and Christina's Wedding at Gorge Crest Farms in Town & Country Weddings, Fall 2010 issue.  I have also been featured in a few wedding inspiration blogs such as Style Me Pretty, Snippet & Ink, Style Unveiled, and Marry You Me!

John & Katie: Wedding Teaser!

March 8, 2008 at the Salem Grand Ballroom & Theater.  John and Katie’s Wedding was beautifully decorated with the essence of Springtime.  Their center pieces and Arbor for the ceremony was decorated with tree branches covered in pale pink blossoms, gorgeous!  This is only a sneak peak, but keep in touch because we’ll post much much more after they come and see all of the pictures!  As of right now, I want to show you all of her very cute shoes!  So, I asked the girls where her shoes were, and they proceeded to direct me toward this treasure chest of a shopping bag which had five different pairs of shoes in it!  A girls dream!  Amazing shoes that she could not choose from until today when she would be forced to do so.  She finally chose to wear the ones with the cute bows on the back, and in the last picture, you’ll see what surprise is on the bottom.  Then, she changed dresses at the reception and chose to wear the purple ones.  I LOVE them all, so I was thrilled…

John and Katie, thank you for letting us take your wedding pictures!  You are both stunning, and I hope you can forgive us for being just a little pushy :)   We try the best we can to keep things on track.  I’m looking forward to designing this album…
