I fell in love with photography as a little girl – sitting with my grandmother looking through family photo albums, browsing travel books, and noticing how important receiving the next crop of photos of the ‘kids’ was to family. My mom and dad were sure to shoot movie footage of birthdays and Christmas….I caught the photo bug early.

I am an artist. I love adventure. So capturing the quick-to-pass precious moments of life is exciting and challenging to me. I enjoy finding the right creative flair to add to the moment I’m capturing. Working with families, hearing what is important to them is important to me. I enjoy being part of peoples’ special events. Photography is great fun, it can be used to document and to capture the true essence of events :: the special looks, that anticipated dance, great grandma with the new baby. The fun and the traditional tell the whole story. My style captures candid and posed (not necessarily stuffy) moments with the personality and detail of the day.

With every photo shoot I grow more as an artist. It’s important for me to stay fresh in my photography approach by keeping my inner artist alive. I love chocolate almond custard and brats and beer and running. My family is very important to me and I love taking photos at home or on the road.
