Short Bio

I grew up one of three girls, I was the middle.  I became very independent, strong minded, strong willed and responsible at a very young age.  I was always concerned about others and dreaded the thought of anyone being mad at me.  I honored and respected my parents.  I had dreams to be someone...someone successful.  I wasn't sure how I would acheive that.  I spent time going to college,
working, then trying to find myself while being a nanny across the country.  After returning to where I called home, two weeks later I met my sweet husband.  We were inseparable, in a whirlwhind romance, constantly joined at the hip.  Eight months later we were married. Six months after that, we were expecting our first little baby.  After becoming a mommy, it became one of the biggest parts of defining my success.  Longing for the baby pictures that were never taken of me, I started to become obsessive with recording my own babies life.  There grew my love for photograhy and one other way of defining my own success.  Along the years, more children blessed and enriched my life. And each of them helped to nourish, cultivate, and strengthen my desire to learn photography.  I was always told I had an eye when others saw my work.  It encouraged me and I eventually took the plunge and bought my first Digital SLR camera in 2008.  Many friends and family helped me practice by being my subjects.  And many other photographers inspired me all the while deepening my strong urge to pursue this passion. While at first my love for photography was self-serving, I really saw the happiness I brought to others when taking pictures for them.  They say you find pure joy in serving others, that you lose yourself in service and your problems become the least of your worries.  My way to serve others is to help them keep the memories they hold dear to their hearts.  I'm lucky to have found something that is my passion in which not only benefits me, but all those around me as well.
