SpecialtiesAt 9 years old I was handed my first little point & shoot camera. I won my first photo contest with a sunset picture I took with that thing! My mother had it hanging on her wall for years! By the age of 16 I was taking photography much more seriously. It was then I was given my first film camera & from that moment on I knew photography would be part of my life forever. Since then, I have always had a camera in my hands! Living in New York gave me plenty of interesting subjects to photograph. I would later leave my hometown to venture out to Colorado. It was there that I obtained my Associates Degree in Photography at The Colorado Institute Of Art. After graduating, I decided to move to Arizona. I started out working in small photo labs, then worked my way up to managing commercial photo labs. I then moved onto working for the Arizona Republic while photographing weddings & portraits on my off days. After meeting my husband & deciding to start a family I felt it was time to go out on my own, unleashing my own creativity & high standards. I use natural posing & lighting; breaking the rules of photography constantly, keeping things fresh, exciting & new! My style is to take the stress away, creating a fun & comfortable atmosphere for my clients.To be able to help a person's business grow,to be there to capture all the excitement of a wedding or event, all the joy of a pregnancy & all the innocence of a newborn is a rewarding joy. Photography is a way of life for me, not a job!
