BEHIND THE LENS
I have been learning the art of photography my entire life. I began to take it seriously after homeschooling my son when he decided to take up photography. I was not able to put my camera down. After endless Webinars, Seminars and practice....practice....practice, I have become so comfortabe managing my camera, manipulating the light and settings to get the photos I wanted.
It wasn't until the past 6 years that I have become a business. There is nothing better than coming to my studio after a photoshoot and viewing your photos on my computer. It looks as though I had spent the entire day capturing your story.
I have shot Weddings, Engagement Shoots, Models, babies, families, Corporate head shots, Corporate Events, High School Seniors, On Location & Creative studio work. I have always wanted to make photography a more affordable part of people's lives. And I think I found a way that I can. FAMILY MINI PHOTO SHOOTS IN THE PARK. It is an entire day designated for family photos, but instead of shooting for the entire hour, I will condense the shoot and focus on the KEY photos necessarry to make a collage or a small mini book. I am already there and instead of an Hour & a half session, it will only be 1/2 hour. (The perfect amount of time to complete all these Key photos!) I will have designated dates through out the year for my clients to book and I can leave the rest of the year for Weddings & Engagements, Corporate Events & Executive Headshots, Newborn & High School Senior Photo shoots.
I am fully equiped with Professional Portable gear as well as the most popular Studio Lighting available. I also have a Home Studio at the front of my home to accomodate Newborns or when there is bad weather. I work with many different Canon Camera's and Lenses to capture the moment for any situation.
Photography is more than just a passion! I truly LOVE what I do. I have to "PINCH" myself every single day!

THE LIST GOES ON AND ON........
I CONTINUE TO EDUCATE MYSELF DURING THE WEEKDAY WHEN I HAVE NOTHING GOING ON. It gives me a peace of mind that I am working on all the areas of my career that needs attention, or I try to challenge myself into trying something outside the box.
