As you can see from the photo above, I was blessed to come from a huge family. That meant there was never a dull moment and always someone to play with growing up. As an adult we get along incredibly well and I look forward to every chance to spend with my family. Having so many personalities together has helped me relate to most people and develop a great rapport with clients.

One of the things I love about wedding photography is building a rapport with the bride & groom. Usually by the end of the wedding they consider me a friend. I pride myself on being able to transition between so many styles of wedding photography. Getting to know each bride and groom and understanding what it is they're looking for when it comes to photographing their big day helps me stand out as a great fit for most people’s weddings. I would say my personality is a mixture of energetic & laid back.

I love photography! I purchased my first SLR in high school (Canon EOS Rebel G) and I’ve been hooked ever since. Hiking, being outdoors and traveling are some of my favorite ways to enjoy my time. Cycling is also another favorite outdoor activity, both road and mountain biking; and last year I biked 52 miles in 1 day. Being fit helps me be energetic throughout your entire wedding day which translates into better photos and consistent creativity.

A little added bonus for me as a photographer on your wedding day is that I am a licensed cosmetologist. I understand the ins and outs of hairstyles and makeup so I also know how you can best be photographed with different styles.
