Flip flops are a must year round. I believe all animals have a desire to be pet and it very well may kill me one day. I'm totally a morning person and am most productive in the wee hours of the morning. I was born and raised on the water but am not a fan of seafood. Don't pull me on the dance floor because I absolutely cannot dance. I've lived in South Dakota, Ohio, Indiana, and Virginia (no it wasn't the military, I just married a man who is a nomad at heart). I've been married for almost 18 years and have 3 pretty awesome kids. Photography has taken me all over the country, TX, AZ, NC, OH, CA, FL, MD, PA, DE, and WV. My dream is to photograph a wedding in Iceland... So if you know someone, hook a sister up!!

Joyful. Natural. Friendly. Timeless. Classic.
my photography style in 5 words
From my early days of film, to first generation digital cameras, to my favorite "go to" gear that I use today, I have had a camera in my hand for over 20 years. I dreamed of the day I could capture the romance between two people. I dove in feet first and have never looked back!
it started with an old canon film camera and evolved
I got into photography during high school...

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about my clients. Past, present, and future. I desire a relationship that extends further than the wedding day. The industry is constantly changing and I aim to keep up with new standards while holding true to my style.
I value my client's time and strive to make the experience easy and fun.
