You know those people who say they get joy and a sense of freedom and peace from running. Well that is not me haha! I just finished the couch to 5k training program with a friend. We have been running regularly and I plan to run at least one 5k this year. Who knows maybe I will get to the point where I love to run!

I am a self taught photographer. I started taking pictures in highschool for the yearbook and newspaper and bought a camera with my graduation money. That summer I started shooting portraits and have been since then. I did my first wedding in 2002! Photography is not what I thought I would be doing when I "grew up" but I am and I love it!

Here is a bit about my philosophy on photographing your life!
I walked into a clients house one day to do a session and I was kind of shocked and honored by the display of photos scattered throughout her house that I had taken on previous occasions. I have thought about that so many times since and it has helped me realize what my job is really about. I want to be able to capture moments in your life that you want to hang on your walls. That you can look at and remember that day and what was going on in your life for that season. Whether it was a moment you shared dancing at your wedding, the smile of your new baby, or your crazy kids running around! I love that life is always changing and I love to be able to share in each of my clients life as it does! It is my desire to be able to learn who you are even if its only for an hour and be able to have that come through in the images I take. I love what I do and I hope that I can share that with you!
