Complete Joy

I have been editing photos from our wonderful road trip for the past few days and am so thrilled and proud about how they turned out. I feel so blessed to have the most amazing husband who bought me the camera of my dreams so that I could do something I have always loved. I hope that you enjoy these photos and that they bring you as much joy as they have brought me.

Memories Are Everything

Along with a big move, three small children, a busy husband, and a huge passion fueled by deep rooted family moments I was called to began my studio.

My grandmother and mother are so consumed by family and with that importance someone was always taking photos in our house. When I was much younger I was not as thrilled about photography as I am now. I very much appreciative all the many memories and special moments that I have now due to a camera always being a huge part of any event. That is one reason I am so passionate about my work.

My mother lost her oldest brother when she was very young. She very much remembers him and the moment that he was taken from them. From then on she made it a point to take as many photos as possible in an attempt to capture everything since you never know when you or any one you love will be called home. That is the second reason that I am passionate about my work.

In the five years that I have been married to the most amazing man we have had three beautiful children. It all happened so fast and I feel I missed so many special moments of our children growing. It literally happens in a blink. I love to capture the candid times the moments that remind me so much of who the are right then at that very specific moment. They are my whole world! That is the third reason I am so passionate about my work.

I could go on and on, but those are the most important reasons. I know that I am just starting out and have so much to learn, but I am in love! I have drive, passion, and a great creative eye.

I look forward to capturing special moments for others. That will thrill me. That would bring so much joy to my soul.
