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!

Justin & Sheena: E-Shoot!

Wow, I had a great time with these two on Monday! They really warmed up for the camera and did some great stuff. I LOVE when I don’t have to coach my couples to much…I think it also requires a little acting on their part. I was talking to Sheena and pointing out that you just have to pretend that I’m not there and act like there’s NOBODY around to invade on all those special happy moments that a couple shares. It’s so great when our couples understand that and feel comforable to go all out and be volnerable in front of the camera. Thanks guys, I can’t wait for the wedding!

We started in downtown Corvallis, but all of my vary favorites are when we went to the field!!!!! Enjoy…
They had two adorable and super well-behaved chocolate labs!
