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.
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!
I was given the opportunity to photograph my friends newborn baby at two weeks old! She wanted to do it quick, because newborns seem to change every day! So, we did it the day before they left to visit family for Christmas, and when they got back, he looked so different. I am so glad we got it...
Style me Pretty has just published their first magazine featuring their best of 2010, and I am so honored to have one of my weddings featured in it! I don’t feel that I am anywhere near worthy enough to be featured alongside Elizabeth Messina, or Jose Villa, or Jasmine Star (to name a few), but...
I don’t do families that often, but I look forward to playing with these guys a couple times a year! This is just a sneak peek, but it was just one of those times when I can’t wait to get home to look at a certain series of images, ’cause I know there is just...
Okay, so in my wedding package a la carte options, I offer my couples the choice of hiring a second photographer to assist me on their wedding day, right? Well, I was just in the middle of editing this wedding when I came across this! Oh my goodness! THIS is why I love shooting with...
So I think my very favorite place to photograph a wedding is Gorge Crest Farms in the beautiful Columbia Gorge! You may remember Kyle and Christina’ wedding from last year (can you believe it’s been a year!), and how their wedding just totally rocked my socks off!! I was on cloud nine for weeks after...
This was a wedding that I was able to attend because of my good friends, Jerome & Rebbecca with A Niko Productions. They are a husband and wife team who offer video, and photography in one! Joshua and Bonny requested more than one photographer, so I got to tag along! Joshua and Bonny were super...
