Me in a nutshell… I’m a single mom with three kids whose hearts and minds are full of humor, smarts, talent, and endless love. They're my world, and I am incredibly grateful that I get to be their mom. My two snugglebug rescue pups also have my heart, and yes, they are like my children.
I'm a quirky mix of introvert and someone who not-so-secretly dreams of belting out songs on Broadway or in a Disney movie (my kids hide my wireless Karaoke machine). I love travelling and my kids know the drill: "Pack a suitcase, no questions!" Our destination? Usually top secret until we reach it, with fingers crossed for the ocean every time. Being a Navy brat and seeing the world with my family as a kid gave me a real appreciation and interest in different people and cultures. It's the lens through which I now view the world and everything I do.
Juggling the early years of raising my three babies, I also helped build a wedding videography business. Connecting with fascinating couples and their unique stories through that incredible experience sparked my love for photography. It's a passion I've nurtured while on my journey toward becoming a nurse. What truly inspires me is the vulnerability and strength in being seen and the power of truly seeing others. There's immense joy in helping clients see the beauty of who they are, sometimes for the first time, within a fun and memorable session.
My style, you ask? I am all about experimenting with editing to create a look that truly reflects you and the feeling of your session. I believe in enhancing your natural beauty, so I tend to keep retouching light, mostly just those little things that will be gone in a week or two. But hey, your comfort is key, so let me know if there are any specific tweaks you have in mind!
On a serious note, don’t hesitate to quote a movie at me or bring on the playful sarcasm during the session! I’d love to hear from you!
