WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BECOME A PHOTOGRAPHER? I love… LOVE and do witness all the beauty that a man and women take a oath under GOD to spend the rest of their lives together is so special and being apart of their special day I really do re-live my wedding day all over again.
TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR PATH TO GET THERE: I have always been drawn to photography even as a young child , took classes in high school and college. I forgot about it when I graduated got a corporate American career and came back once I had my first child. Having a type A personality I could not be a stay at home mom so I decided to go back to by photography roots. I started shooting families for the first 1.5 and then a friend of a friend asked me to shoot her wedding and from there I was hooked.

SHARE YOUR FAVOURITE IMAGE WITH US AND TELL US WHY: This image below was taken at the Kurt Boomer’s workshop in fall 2015 and it was the very first time I actually shot on full manual focus while shooting film and with movement involved. It was scary at first as I was forced to slow way down, but when I got this image back it was so beautiful, almost like a painting. I’m so proud that I stepped out of my comfort zone!
CAN YOU RECALL YOUR FAVOURITE WEDDING EXPERIENCE? YES! It was late 2015 for a really sweet couple now friend where I shoot film, well where I shoot my first roll of film through my contax. I was nervous and happy at the same that I was re-invented my work and myself with film and I shoot more film than I thought and I was so happy. Evener happier when I got the amazing results.
