About me [what to expect]

[In this blog you will get to see my latest work, promotions and sneak peaks into my personal life].

I married my high school sweetheart and together we have been blessed with three gorgeous children. two girls and a boy. WE have gotten the wonderful opportunity to travel the world [my husband is an Air force veteran] I am very proud of him and what he has done for this family and our country.
I can't express this enough. [ my BIGGEST inspiration and motivation is because of my husbands great support]. He is my biggest fan. My favorite people in the world to shoot is my family, my children. You will see a lot of them.

Photography FOUND me.


I HAVE THE MOST FABULOUS JOB DOCUMENTING LOVE. BEAUTY. FASHION.LIFE.
AFTER WE MEET, THIS IS WHERE I SHOW YOU OFF.
I CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU & DOCUMENT YOUR DAY.

I love to experiment, I appreciate all types of art and photography.
I have been fiddling around with photography for a good 4 years.
 I Officially started  my business just this past year. April will  mark my first year. I Have been blessed to gain  amazing clientele and the opportunity to be a part of someone's life to  give them memories captured for them to cherish for generations to come.

I work very hard at what I do, I spend a lot of time learning photoshop and learning all the things my camera has to offer.
I still have so many things to learn . I  set time aside each day to read, study and practice with my camera and photoshop.
Photography is  very time consuming, [I love every part of it] I am very dedicated to learning more and growing in the process.
It doesn't happen with a click of the button and WALA, it's done! It doesn't work that way.

I am very adamant about  being a 'one of a kind photographer', creating  what I imagine in my head as to how I view the world and everything around me. 
I feel, that being a successful photographer is finding your own muse. Studying every aspect, and being VERY DEDICATED to learn how to enhance your images and details to gain better results.

I am confident enough  to say that where I am  right now [as a photographer professionally] is because I incorporated , a lot of TIME, LOVE, my own CREATIVITY and PASSION into each photograph I do, YOU will be getting a glimpse into my mind and heart when viewing my work.

I vary in different styles because I want to show how diverse and open minded I am.
I break the rules.
I am inspired by the seasons too. So when fall comes around the corner you will see a lot of warm color tones.
When summer rolls around you will see a lot of Bright , vibrant, FUN color tones.
My favorite style of editing is in  VINTAGE. I absolutely love it, you will see a lot of that in the majority of my work.
I am very thankful for what I am able to do and share with others, I have been given the opportunity to do what I  LOVE,   and along the way I  have met some amazing people/clients who truly appreciate and support  what I do. I am forever grateful. THANK YOU. thank you for being a fan!

I am very flattered that I have inspired aspiring photographers because of what I have done and accomplished myself.
I want  to pass on the same gratitude that was expressed to me,to others.
I am willing to help any aspiring photographer with what I know. That is how I  got the courage to pursue what I love into a business.[ through the guidance and support of other professional photographers].
I would like to return the favor by helping others in the same way it was given to me.

On another note:
I'm a mother to three beautiful kids, a wife to the most amazing man, a people watcher [observer]
I love the smell of desert rain, I love  SOCKS. I can't live without chapstick.
I love trying new foods, I am constantly on a look out for a photo spot, I'm clumsy,
I think too much, dream too much, and I seem to LOVE the wrong kind of people.
I surround myself with amazing friends who I highly respect and admire.
I have eliminated the negative people in my life and I don't regret it.
I hate when people are late. I love gloomy days, I love music of all types, it is therapy for my soul. I love Photoshop, my camera, and MOST OF ALL GOD and MY FAMILY.
