FUN facts about me!

  • I am OBSESSED with photography and have been known to work 20 hours straight after a shoot with little food and loads of COFFEE!
  • Uploading pictures from a wedding or photoshoot is like opening Christmas presents for me!
  • I turned my hobby of photography into a full time business in less than ONE year!
  • Forensic Files…an obsession that keeps me up at nights.
  • If I weren’t a Photographer, I’d probably be solving crimes!
  • Children….I have one! He is gorgeous…looks like his mother. Enough said.
  • DANCE….I can bust out moves like you’ve never seen! It’s one of my favorite past times, and you may even catch me dancing at your wedding!
  • Personality....I live each day as though tomorrow were my last!
  • I love road trips, people watching, live music, shopping at Goodwill, summer, meeting new people, networking, hanging out with friends/family and my obese kitty!
