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!

Maternity Pictures!

Well, actually, I think this is my first real maternity session ever.  I realized this after talking to Daniel, one of my brides from ’07, while admitting I don’t do them “very often” and was feeling a little nervous.  After I got off the phone, feeling so excited to see Ryan and Daniel again, I realized that I really haven’t ever done one before.  But, I have been gathering ideas for quite a while, just keepin’ an eye out for what I would like, should I ever get the opportunity :)   I also took a few pictures in my little home studio which I don’t think I’ve set up for over a year now!  I don’t love shooting indoors, but for those B&W belly shots along with the teeny weeny newborns, I will make an exception.  So here goes a couple of my favorites…
