Her passion for photography started about 7 years ago, when she gave birth to her first daughter. Growing up, there were not many pictures of her life. Various reasons played a part in this. As an adult and mother, she wishes she had some photos to look back on, to remember those who have passed on, any fond memories, ect. She vowed the minute she had her daughter that they would have photos to remember their childhood and their lives.
Her favorite aspect of my photography is the lifestyle feel. She makes sure to get those wonderful pictures with your beautiful smiles. But, her favorite pictures are almost always the ones she takes when no one was looking. Your son picking up a leaf that he just found or your daughter laughing at the joke her daddy just told her. Your husband’s eyes full of love as he tells you that you look beautiful or your wife smiling at you while she fixes a wrinkle on your shirt. These sound like such miniscule things but let me show you a picture of that exact moment and she promises you will hold onto it forever. As a mom herself, she knows that time flies by in the blink of an eye. She cherishs the photos she has of my daughter and all of her emotions/personality so that we can always remember and relive them together. And that is what she wants for you. She wants our photo session to be fun and about you - as you are.
