more about me and how it all started.

I had the privilege of stepping into this business in 2017 when I had three kids running around, ages 1, 2, and 3. My husband could see I needed something that was just mine. Something that I could look forward to in the midst of taking care of my 3 under 3. He bought me my first camera. Not just a camera you can point and shoot and expect a decent picture, but one you have to learn, one that wasn’t in our budget.

I will forever credit him with the start of this story. He saw I needed something and knew me well enough to give me an outlet for creativity.

I started just taking pictures of our youth group girls. We have the privilege of knowing 100’s of teens through our church. My husband is the youth pastor and I, a youth pastor’s wife. It started there and quickly grew to couples, engagements, then my first wedding in the same year.

If you have ever met me in this field, you would never know I was an introvert. I long to be alone, I craze quiet, and I re-energize from solitude. But for some reason, when I have my camera in hand and I am capturing you live out one of your best days, my introverted self becomes the most outgoing person and I barely recognize her! Weddings bring me joy. They bring out my fun side and I enjoy dancing on the dance floor with you and your girls like we have known each other for years!
