From the moment I picked up my first Canon, I felt intrigued by the amazing technology that seemed to so flawlessly capture a timeless moment. Since becoming a photographer I find myself looking at life differently. I now find the beauty in such small fleeting moments. The way the sun shines through the trees, the genuine joy of a child interacting with their parents, or the pure emotion of a groom as his bride walks towards him on the day of their wedding. I get to capture and focus in on that every day, and for that, I am truly grateful.

I’ve been a photographer for five years now and I’ve explored almost every sub-genre of this profession. My absolute favorite moment to capture is love. Preserving life’s most precious moments. I view my career not as a documenter, but more as a keeper of time. Totally cheesy, I know.

I am a mother to two children, Rose and Brett. I love spending time with my family. On a weekend I am not working you can find me reading a good book, camping in the mountains (have to go to East Tennessee for that now), or playing video games with my family. It all comes together with a nice cup of iced tea! I swear I was made for the south. We have two dogs: Leia, a German Shepherd, and Kira, a Schnauzer. Although I grew up in Las Vegas I am determined to grow things! I can’t wait to grow my own garden here. I absolutely adore roses and sunflowers.

I love to create moments that evoke emotion, awe, and even inspiration. Sometimes that means capturing that raw candid connection, or sometimes it means prompting you with a silly question to draw out those natural giggles. I am very laid back during my sessions and am often told that I am very friendly. Quite a few jittery brides have thanked me for being so calm and fun on their wedding day. I will always be there to help in any way that I can. Like in Toy Story, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”.

We don’t remember days, we remember moments. Let me capture yours!
