"Photography was always important to me, but for a while, only as a hobby. I never planned to turn it into my future - not until my mom reminded me that I could be anything I wanted with enough "umph". So, here I am, doing what I love. Photography has become my passion. My camera and I are attached at the hip. It took me a while to realize that I could turn what I always loved into a career. But now, I don't have a typical job that I dread going to each day - I get to wake up knowing that I will enjoy working and following my dreams.

I completed my college education at Antonelli Institute of Art and Photography in Pennsylvania. During my time there, I became skilled in both Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, as well as mastering both film and digital camera functionality and lighting techniques. After graduation, I got married moved to Washington with my husband.

Back in PA, I worked for a local studio for about three years. After having a wonderful experience there, I started my own photography business. I began photographing events for a local high school, and soon, I branched out to senior portraits, weddings, and even a little volunteer work with a local cat rescue." less...
