Describe your work:
I view my job as a passion, not a source of income.
It is a vehicle to connect with people, to share one of the most sacred days of their life with them, and to give back and add to the beauty of the world around me. Each set of wedding images is euniqe to the couple, because each couple is unique--my adventure is learning about them and both enjoying and creating moments during their day. My style consists of a blend of styles with labels like Candid, High-Fashion, and Documentary--but to me, labels are just that--how can you put a label on Van Gogh or Kandinsky? --their work just is what it is. Regardless, the creation of our images are driven by joy, spontaneity, and passion for life.
Brief Autobio
I am a former Art and Photography Teacher who loves to learn. I am extreme,
obsessive, and love to create, dream, and generate ideas. I attribute where
I am today to those who have cheered me on, taken the time to mentor me, and
believed in me. I am so thankful to the Lord for the opportunities He has
given me--He is definitely my biggest inspiration. I graduated with an
undergrad in Art Education with an emphasis in Photography and Graphic
Design 5 years ago and had the privilege to photograph my first wedding 10
years ago. After winning a scholarship to work under photographer and
artist Kevin Kubota, I leaped blindly over the cliff into a full-time career
of wedding photography. It's been a wild ride, which most of the time, I
love!
