I have always been fascinated by photography. I have spent countless hours studying photographs of people, while considering the angles, the lighting, and the editing the photographer used. I love the fact that photography has the amazing ability to transport us to a different time, or place with one single shot.
It was not until I started blogging that I decided to take photography more seriously. With camera in hand, I started experimenting with photographs of my apartment, of friends, and family. It was after experimenting in this way that I realized my passion for photography. I have no formal training or background in this field, but I realize that passion can open your eyes to the impossible, so not only did I invest in the proper equipment I also spent the necessary time to learn everything I could to enhance the skill it takes to be proficient with this passion.
I enjoy, and appreciate the opportunity to photograph bloggers, couples, influencers who make an impact in their profession, families, and also lifestyle type setting. I take an individual approach to each person I photograph. I make every effort to embrace and highlight the focus of what they are trying to convey to their audience with each session.
I look forward to working together and capturing the potential magnificence of your moments through my eyes and the lens of my camera.

I have been wearing glasses since those awkward junior high days. I never looked at them as being a great accessory to have but rather something that clashed with my braces, blue nails, and oily skin. Can you ask for a more awkward period? woof.
I am a hoarder when it comes to frames. For some reason I find them an annoying necessity so I don’t buy them often. Last week I finally caved and bought a new pair since my last ones were being held together by a safety pin (tres chic).
After weeks of searching for the right pair I was excited to show them off. Â The first reaction I received was from my boyfriend who said, “They are nice. They certainly don’t make you look as nerdy as your last ones.” Gee thanks, buddy. Guess I need to update more often?!
Make sure if you are DIY your own jeans shorts to go up a few sizes so you can get that relaxed fit you are aiming for.
