My LOVE for photography began over 32 years ago, shooting landscapes while on vacation at Olympic National Park. A simple hike up the mountain changed my life. I couldn't understand the beauty of God's creation. I couldn't describe it with words; I shot it.
I spent about six years making pretty pictures into postcards of my travels. Then, digital photography and the Internet took over. I built a website and displayed my pictures; it opened me to a bigger world. People found me online wanting me to capture their events. I never advertised as a wedding or event photographer. The career was choosing me. My artistic hobby quickly turned into the biggest side hustle …without my permission. I couldn’t just make pictures, I had to learn the business!
Two decades later, my love for photography has forced me to step out of my introverted comfort zone. Now, with my camera, I can morph into an extroverted visual storyteller who makes images out of precious moments. I thank God before and after every shoot for using me as a vessel. It’s never about me, it’s all about the Mission and Purpose.
My Style & Approach
My style is to simply Find the Art and Beauty in any situation.
I strive to capture genuine moments and emotions, ensuring that each photograph tells a part of your unique love story. I believe that the best photos are those that reflect real, unposed interactions and the true essence of your relationship. In my approach, I focus on creating a comfortable and relaxed environment for my clients. I understand that being in front of a camera can be daunting, so I take the time to get to know you, allowing your natural personalities to shine through in the photos. My goal is to make the experience enjoyable and stress-free, so you can be yourselves and enjoy every moment.
I use natural light and beautiful landscapes to enhance the storytelling aspect of my work. Whether it’s a sunset beach shoot or an intimate indoor session, I aim to use the surroundings to complement and elevate the narrative of your love story. Each session is tailored to your preferences and personalities, ensuring that the final images are a true reflection of who you are as a couple.
Ultimately, my approach is about more than just taking pictures; it’s about capturing the essence of your relationship and creating timeless images that you will cherish forever.
