Short Bio:
It's always intrigued me how one's childhood can affect their life's path so deeply and my story is no different. Growing up all over the world I developed a love of culture and people's differences. I loved to observe and take pictures in my mind of the beauty I was presented with. I was also raised in a very conservative home where we weren't allowed to watch any movie that was rated higher than PG, so my sister and I developed a love for old movies and musicals... I have my parents to thank for my fascination with Old Hollywood Glamour and all things vintage. I like to think that I was a lover of vintage before it was cool to be one. I decorated my room with antique store finds and old painted tea cups... A voracious reader I also loved to paint pictures in my head of the heroines from my favorite Jane Austen & Elizabeth George Speare novels.
In my art, I like to capture the most beautiful things about a person. I want to capture them the way their loved ones see them... maybe even the way they see themselves at their best. I am lucky enough to have married my best friend, so I know what love can be and it makes my heart warm to see this love all around me in the couples I get to photograph.
