Why I do what I do...

When I first started photography, it was a way to express myself by showing everyone how I saw the world. But as I began to do it I realized that it was more than just taking pictures. It was about capturing moments for people to look back on and remember all the fond memories. 

That moment of realization came after losing a dear friend of mine to leukemia in 2022. He and his wife had only been married for a few years and his death shook us all. About a year and a half after his passing, I was talking to his wife and she told me, "The photos you took of us a couple of years ago are some of my favorites to look at. They take me back to the happiest times in my life." It was like a lightbulb went off for me. 

As a follower of Christ, I realized that photography is a talent that He gave me. And in return I'm giving back to my clients by creating images that reflect their love, scars, and legacy. During sessions, I ask questions to get to know their story and all the stepping stones that led them to where they are at.

I want to know YOU and your story (and not just the pretty parts)! We all have a story to tell and what better way than by documenting every part of it. Give me all the laughs, tears, and feelings. Because in our raw, authentic selves, that is where we are loved the most!
