FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was going to school for journalism and working for a local newspaper when my editor started giving me "photojournalism" assignments such as attending local parades and town carnivals or graduation ceremonies and the grand marches for prom where I would take many photos for them to publish. I was getting a lot of compliments on my photography so I decided to take a photography class which I really enjoyed and was told that I was good at, so I decided I'd rather be a photographer than a journalist.

I have done a lot of family photography and weddings. I also have photographed 2 high school senior's photos, sweet 16 birthday party and a few maternity photos.
