Photography has become as much a part of my life as the air I breathe. But it wasn't always that way.

I started in the restaurant business. I bought my first restaurant when I was 24 yrs and I loved it…until I had my first child. Life shifted from living at the restaurants on nights and weekends, to not wanting to miss a night or weekend with my family. I stayed in the restaurant business but I didn’t feel like it was where I belonged. I had my second child and that’s when I found my passion and love of taking photos. Like most parents I would capture every moment on my phone. The more photos I took the more everyone around me started to see my abilities. That’s when everything took off. People started to ask me to take their wedding, family, lifestyle etc. photos. The first time I took a photo of someone other than my family and I saw their response I was hooked and knew it was what I wanted to do.  I get to meet amazing people and capture beautiful moments in their family or professional lives. I take that responsibility very seriously.

My ambition is to capture and showcase how differences and uniqueness makes us beautiful. I want to highlight all you have to offer one snapshot at a time.
