My first experience with photography was through a travel course to New Mexico in college. I had an old Pentax Spotmatic and a map of Sante Fe. The professor’s only instructions, “Wander the streets and take photos along the way.” She used the beauty and experience of being in a new city to awaken our curiosity and creativity, and that is where my passion for photography began! I am also a special education teacher and have a background in fine arts. The combination of my passions have molded me into a flexible, creative artist who connects easily with my couples.

The people I work with tend to want the same thing. They want to be present on their wedding day, in it with the people who know them, not managing it or performing it or watching it from a slight distance. Most of them are a little wary of wedding photography, and I get why. Nobody wants to spend their wedding being arranged. They want the day they actually had, with the people who were actually there. That's the day I'm there to photograph.
