• How did you get started doing this type of work?

  I've always loved photography becoming a photographer has been a natural progression and growth in my interest and love of photos. My interest really took off when I was planning my own wedding. I couldn't find a photographer that would be flexible and work with me to get the photos I wanted. They had their vision of what my wedding photos should look like, but I wanted to have input too. That's how I've shaped my style. I'm happy to show up and run the show, take full direction from the client, or find a balance between the two and work together to make sure they receive all of the photos they want.

• What types of customers have you worked with?

  I like to focus on family event; weddings, senior photos, and babies. My work is split equally between these areas. I love working outdoors with the natural light to avoid using a flash, because of this most of my work is on location.
