I'm married to a wonderful man and we have 4 girls. We all love nature, camping, festivals, music events and, paranormal research. So obviously I have a lot of different interests with a lot of reasons to take photographs.

 

Photography started off as a hobby and quickly turned into a passion for me. This drove me towards a new ambition to get my BA in Fine Art Photography.

 

I've learned there is so much more to photography than just "snapping a picture". Lighting, angle, and composition are a few key points in creating a vivid image that stands out above the rest.

 

I specialize in Senior portraits, Prom / Homecoming, Family portraits, Corporate Events, and Advertising;

She has a respect and curiousity about the paranormal, loves the outdoors, hugs trees (I mean that as a compliment), loves animals, wants to clean up the environment, and is creative with a camera. Her kids are very lucky to have her as a mom. And her sense of humor she adds to her photo comments makes my day. The world needs more people like her.
