Funny story..... I was trying to get into fire fighting with volunteering with the Police, working for the Town in the Forestry Department, being in the Canadian Forces reserves, getting airbrakes certified and even getting my open water dive course completed. It was all for this dream I had for helping people and I didnt know what other way to do it then to fight fires. My sister was needing help to photograph weddings and she bought me my first camera (Nikon F100) and so I thought why not. That's where I quickly found out I had a knack for creativity that also stems from my parents being creative people. My Dad is a florist and somewhat a designer and my Mom is an artist and choreographer and helps my Dad's business with writing cards for floral arrangments, putting together gift baskets and even doing the backdrops at weddings. I quickly changed my profession but not my passion for helping people.

There are a few proud moments in my photography career that I have been blessed to stumble upon. Being in the Military was a great way to connect and network with a lot of people from all walks of life and was hired to photograph Prince Charles for an event in Toronto and had the privilage to meet him at the ceremony afterwards. While on a mission for the G8 Summit Meeting held in Huntsville, Ontario the news reporter for Army news was in my tent and once he found out about my talent he took me off general duties and out to experience and document the news within the G8 Summit Meeting and had my work published with Army News. Within my wedding business with my sister we were hired to photograph weddings in England, New York, Detroit and Montreal. Since moving here to Indiana I connected with an interior designer and I had my photographs published with Kravet Magazine.
