I am a former middle school teacher turned professional photographer. Taking photographs was always one of my favorite hobbies. When God led me down the path to turn something I enjoyed into my career and livelihood I couldn't ignore what I felt I was being called to do. To be able to wake up each day and live out this dream is an unbelievable and incredible thing. I am beyond blessed with a husband who supports and encourages me every step of the way. Since 2014 when I bought my first DSLR camera and learned from an amazing mentor and friend what it takes to be a professional I have grown tremendously. I am a natural light photographer who focuses on families, seniors, and couples. If you don't take the time to photograph the stages of life then it is all just a memory. I am beyond grateful to be a photographer that gets to simply follow you around for a couple of hours and capture you and your loved ones just as you are. That's what I always tell my clients when I begin a session, just be yourself and I'll get the images that you will cherish forever.
