About the Photographer

I understand what it takes to be a photographer.

I was in editorial photography five years and have been in over 50 magazines. It would not have happened without a whole lot of dedication and hard work. Not to mention training, professional training that taught me the ins and outs of professional photography.

Photography to me isn’t a job, its a heartfelt connection to emotion. I love to connect with my clients & subjects, I like to feel the moment and embrace the feelings that are present. Mindfulness makes an image something more than just a picture that I am taking-it makes it a story.

Through-out my editorial photography years, I focused my work on models. I focused on Swimsuit/Boudoir, Vintage Pinup and also Cosplay and Wedding Fashion. I have taken images that were chosen not just for the magazine itself, but for the covers. I love my career.

This work is happiness and excitement. Its fun! I love the feeling of taking something simple and making it into something beautiful. I love feeling the emotion and making it visible in the photos. I enjoy making people feel beautiful through photography. Its not about pointing a camera and shooting a subject. Its purposely and intentionally being present in the moment with the client or subject and taking in the surroundings, the emotion and asking myself “What does this scene say without it speaking?” or “What can I portray with this scene that is in front of me.”

Photography captures a moment-I analyze the that moment and I wait for the split second that the true emotion comes out of hiding- where it isn’t just a pose for the camera, I look for when the moment becomes real- and the true feeling in the moment emerges.

When you book a session with me- I take time to get to know you, understand what you are looking for in your portraits and I work with you to get that image. I have patience, so with newborns I understand that things happen. I add in extra time to sessions for that purpose. I want your session to be an experience to remember, I don’t want you to feel rushed.

I am a photographer who works hard, and goes the extra mile. I love my work, I love working with clients and I absolutely feel grateful when I make people feel great about themselves when they see themselves in the image!
