As a photographer I am warmly welcomed into the most precious moments of stories! I am able to slip into the heart stuff that no one outside the tight circle of friends or family is allowed to witness! I love this aspect of my job! I love being able to capture the emotion of a story for my clients! I can’t even begin to explain how wonderful it is to hear a client remark on how beautiful they feel in their images, but this can be dangerous territory for me. The opposite can also happen leaving me feeling responsible for another person’s insecurities or unrealistic expectation. I value feedback and take all of it in with a gain of salt and as much understanding as possible! Being a photographer can often look like balancing my own emotions with the emotions of my clients. I can’t be destroyed by a lack of response, or tough feedback, or even a simple mistake of my own doing! I sell people artistic representations of themselves - their connections and emotions. I don’t create anyone. I just see beauty and connection and craft images around them.

My aunt and uncle gave us a lovely little cabin guarded by an Native American Head (on the door) on their property between the cows and chickens where we would make our home for the holiday.

As a wedding photographer I have a first row seat on a train with three wheels... The bride... the groom... and me! I can't say I have felt it, but I certainly have seen it and I am not even sure how to describe how lovely people are together. Not long ago a man reached out to tell me his love story and asked me to join him in telling that story! So I got on an airplane and flew to Las Vegas to photograph! This story is beautiful, but perhaps you would rather read it from his perspective!
