IT’S VERY GOOD TO MEET YOU
I grew up in a very artistic family, which is funny to me. I never realized we were all similar until I was deep into my twenties and I realized that all of us had settled into very niche, very creative outlets. I am the oldest of three girls, all of us artists.My parents were preforming artists, making the art of pantomime work cross-culturally as they preformed both nationally and internationally. I grew up sleeping behind backdrops on street corners during art festivals and eventually, preforming with them on stage. I’ve always had a front row seat to the movements and emotions that carry a story, and I'm never afraid of a crowd. I joined yearbook in high school but had no idea what I was doing with a camera. I’m sure I made many mistakes, but I knew I liked being on the sideline during games and carrying the camera over my shoulder. Guess who was more focused on emotional moments vs. the sport itself? Me.In my early twenties, I had this sudden urging in me to learn photography. I’m so thankful to have listened to that little voice. I picked up my first camera, listened to a lot of wonderful mentors, and jumped in.Looking back on your whole life, you realize how many things have prepared you and placed you right where you are.Can you think of those things in your life?
Because of my upbringing I have a huge passion for celebrations, culture, family, and commitment. Wedding photography combines all of those passions into one gloriously long day. I always leave weddings feeling refreshed and wanting more. I know it's where I'm supposed to be.
Even in hard things, I have felt a call to fully experience and preserve.
after losing my dad in 2020, joy in helping others experience good, healthy relationships with those they love deepened and i felt even more of a call to preserve important memories for clients.
Photography makes me excited. Running a business makes me excited. It’s hard work, but it’s work I was meant to do.There’s an old mentality about a wedding ceremony - every guest you invite is a witness. A witness that swears to support and stand by the both of you as you go through all of the ups and downs of a life intertwining together. I get to do that instantly with you and then afterwards with whatever family you build.I take that very seriously.
It is an honor to serve you. It is an honor to be right where I am, doing this. Hopefully, gratitude is felt in my work and in my interaction with you.
