When I am not behind the lens, I am a wife and loving mother of two beautiful girls. I love to travel, I enjoy hiking in the beaurtiful Utah mountains, I indulge in BRAVO's reality tv shows and I enjoy being in the kitchen baking with my daughters.
I met my husband on a blind date and we have been by each others side ever since we met back in 2002.
I have always had a passion for photography and I live for capturing authentic moments in time between couples.
What sets my photography apart from others is that I am a fine art photographer and my aim is to capture stunning portraiture that can be proudly displayed on your wall or printed in your wedding album. I strive to make my photos timeless, artistic and genuine. I love working with couples who are affectionate, easy going and down for a good laugh. My goal is to capture your special day beautifully and authentically, in hopes that your photos become heirlooms for you to enjoy for many years to come.
I’m a Wife, I’m a Mother, (My favorite profession) I’m a Nurse, I’m a Photographer. Being a mother is why I started taking pictures. I wanted to capture my Children as they were growing up, as they grew, so did my photography. I found myself turning my love of photography into helping others capture their memories in a forever photograph. Being a Nurse I’m trained to pay attention to details. This has seeped into my photography life as well. I watch for the details as I shoot and edit, which I believe helps my end product.I create fine art products that will be timeless pieces of art to display in your house as you begin your journey as a new Family. As A photographer I have learned to look for the ‘Light” What sets me apart from other photographers is I know how to find the light and use it to my advantage, no matter what time of day, or venue. I love backlit images, and will look for the light anywhere!
I love to workout, anything from hiking, running, weightlifting, and try to fit one of these things in every day. I’m a bookworm, I read anything, but my favorite genre is historical fiction and nonfiction. Love browsing book stores. I love to travel, just like reading, travel opens horizons and understating of cultures. I’m a busy body, and am on the go most of the time. I’m a people person. I love the outdoors, sunlight, and warmth. A perfect afternoon for me would be sitting on a hot beach, listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean, while reading a good book, surrounded by family.
