About

I know, I know, all of the about pages on most photographer's websites or blogs sound pretty much the same: "I love photography, it's my passion, etc, etc..." So I guess I'm about to sound really cliche because I truly do LOVE photography, and it really truly is my passion. I discovered photography 9 years ago when my twin daughters were born, 14 weeks premature. I didn't know if they would live to come home, so all that mattered in the world to me, was remembering they were here, for however short a time. Photography was my lifeline, my catharsis, and my worldview, and continued to be, even long after we left the NICU with our surviving daughter. It has healed me, shaped me, and allowed my to see great beauty, pain, joy, and so much laughter. So enough about why I love photography, let's get down to the nitty-gritty!

What is my "style"? I guess that's for you to decide when you look at my images. I shoot a little differently with every client because each interaction inspires me uniquely, and of course, no two people are the same! I gravitate toward fun, laid-back images with clean, bright colors, and bit of vintage-bohemian thrown in on the side. I love admiring the latest Anthropologie catalog, and one of my favorite pastimes is perusing Pinterest the web for gorgeous images, no matter what the medium. I adore photographing teens and couples, in particular, and have great time with tweens as well. I'm not a newborn or maternity photographer, I've had 6 kids of my own, so goodness knows I've spent enough time with those little bundles of joy! I am energetic and chatty, but quiet when I need to be. I love music, art, a great burger, red wine, cupcakes, and dive bars. I have a soft spot for stray/homeless animals (much to my husband's chagrin) and I aspire to someday own a dwarf goat. ;)  Soooo I hope that gives you a little peek into my life, I hope to learn more about you soon enough!  Thank you for stopping by!
