Some of my family favorites

One of the reasons I became a photographer is because I love taking photographs of my own family. Here are a few of my favorites of my Nieces and Nephew. I just love capturing those "looks" and expressions that make them who they are! Are they just adorable or what? :)

Thanks for reading,

Welcome!

I’m so excited to be starting my new blog so that we can get to know each other. This being my first entry, I thought I would let you know a little bit about me and my photography…

My love for photography began as a child. While all of my friends were playing house with their dolls, I was taking pictures of mine.

In high school I expanded my interest by taking photography classes. Photography remained a passion and hobby of mine throughout college. I enjoyed experimenting with everything from landscape to portraits. During that time, I never really had a specific type of photography I focused on.

After collage I went on to become an elementary school teacher. One summer a friend of mine asked me to take photographs of her while she was pregnant. I had found my niche. After five years of teaching and taking pregnancy and infant portraits on the side, I decided to combine my love of and expertise in photography with the knowledge and joy I received from working with children and families, and make photography my full time career. Ever since that day, I have been specializing in portrait and lifestyle photography of pregnancy, infants, children, and families. It is so wonderful to capture; a woman as she nurtures a new life, an infant as he or she grows, the spirit and character of a child, and a family's love for each other.

As I have grown as a photographer I have held onto my desire to be an educator and I am always finding and researching resources to make available to my client’s growing families. I see myself not only as a photographer, but as a resource providing an experience for my clients.

I have also come to truly value working on location with all of my clients. When I go to their comfort zone it allows kids particularly to be themselves and let their character shine through.

As I journeyed on and got married myself I decided to add wedding photography to my clients. I particularly love capturing the beautiful details from the day and the intimacy of the couples getting married. Each couple has a unique beauty that I love to capture in the photographs.

For me, it’s all about the joys of life, the small details in an expression, and writing a family’s history with images that will share stories for generations to come.

I look forward to writing again soon!
