I’ve had a passion  for photography since I was a young teenager. 
I loved taking pictures with the basic point & shoot camera gifted to me by my parents as a teen and playing around with the fun settings, shots, and online edits I could achieve with it. 
In my later high school and college years, a family friend gifted me their sister's old film SLR camera that she wasn't using anymore.  I enjoyed playing around with it, & learning the basics of a camera beyond point-&-shoot.
In college, I took a film photography course and learned the ins & outs of photography, how a camera works, and how to develop film in the darkroom.  
When my hubby & I got married, we used our wedding money to buy our very first DSLR camera.  


I started taking lots of pictures for family and friends and continued to learn and grow.  After we moved to our current home in Stansbury Park in 2014 and realized that people actually liked the memories I captured for them,  I decided it was time to turn my passion & hobby into an 'official' business. 
I've taken little breaks here & there through the years of having babies and raising young children.  But I find when I don't pick up my camera for a while... I feel a part of what makes me ME is missing.. and I get the itch to get out there and shoot and be creative again. 
And that's when I know my passion is still alive and I'm meant to be shooting!  

Throughout the years of seeing life through the lens, I've learned so much and enjoy seeing the progress & growth I've made and continue to make each and every session!

My photography journey

My "Why"

By nature, I am a documenter. I kept journals as a young girl. When I got married I started a family blog to document our family memories, and now that social media is the "it" thing, I mostly use that as my own source of family documentation.
I love having the power to actually freeze time (for myself and for others). All for the sake of being able to look back at these moments and say, "Remember when??? " OR “Man… look where we are now! We made it through the last year, week, day, etc," OR “Remember the cute/funny thing that ______ did at this age?”

SO many memories made each and every day of our lives.
SO much magic found in each moment. 
SO much beauty we can STILL find in our day-to-day chaos of life.

This is why I'm here and why I do what I do!  

I’d love to be there to help you capture those memories, magical moments and beauty -– from your baby’s first milestones. . . to your child’s two front missing teeth. . . to your teen’s last year of high school . . . to finding your forever love . . . to the "brotherly love" interactions among your children. . . . to your family being together for the first time in who-knows-how-long.

Take a look around, and if you like what you see, or have any questions, let's get in touch! 

 And the rest is history . . .  ;)
