Photography has become one of the loves of my life. It happily falls right after my husband, three crazy awesome girls, two dogs, three cats and the partridge in the umm, well, magnolia tree.

I was that irritating girl in school who was constantly in everyone’s face taking pictures. I always had a camera with me and I'm talking about back in the day with 110 film and disposable flashes. It may have been annoying then, but now they ask me if they can get copies of the images from all those amazing events in our lives that we shared.

From the time I was 13 I was a professional dancer. So knowing the angles and lines of the human form is something that comes naturally to me. It was my job to be in front of the camera but I found myself behind it even more following that passion for snapping images of what would become my life's story. It has taught me that you rarely realize at the time how truly important small moments in our lives can become once they have passed. My passion for photography continued throughout my life and really became my singular passion when I stopped dancing professionally.

Friends, family, friends of friends all started asking me to do their portraits since I always had my camera and they loved my pictures. I was hesitant to believe that I could do something that I truly love as my job but I took a chance and jumped in. I started shooting portraits and my business just grew like crazy.

I know that you, my wonderful clients, are counting on me to capture those beautiful moments in your life so I make absolutely certain to be fully present in order to capture the real spirit of you and your family! And a great big thanks to all those years of dancing because now I carry the love for beautiful form and genuine emotion into each session that I shoot.

And that’s my story. I would be honored if you let me capture yours.
