ABOUT ME
I am a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend. My life is filled with relationships and memories… memories that I cherish…moments that I never want to forget.
Over the years, as I look at pictures from my childhood, of my many adventures, falling in love with my husband and then again with each of my children, that emotion comes rushing back. Those images represent the memories that have built my life. I realize how moving and how important those moments have been in my life. That is why I passionate about capturing those moments for other people.
One special chapter in my life was the birth of my oldest daughter. At three weeks old she was diagnosed with a rare syndrome called Cri-du-Chat. As the parent of a child with special needs I know how exciting it can be when they do things that others would consider “normal”. I also have an appreciation for how difficult it can be to capture those wonderful memories in a traditional way. These special kids deserve beautiful photographs and I want to offer other parents of these children a caring, patient and relaxed environment in which to capture them. No time limits or forced poses…just let these angels do what they do at their own pace and we will take some pictures along the way.
MY PHILOSOPHY
Life is not scripted, planned or posed. Memories are made in an instant and then stay with us for the rest of our lives, helping us to return to a time, a place and a feeling. That is the philosophy that I strive to maintain as I take photographs.
Like the pictures in a book, I want each image to capture a moment in the story of your life. Toward that end my approach is to use only natural light and settings. I will meet you in your home, at a park, at a beach or someplace that is special to you. I am very informal, I try not to “direct” too much during a session and I will never tell you to "Say Cheese!" My goal is to capture the candid and spontaneous moments that truly show who you are.
