Mom
I am a mom first. Becoming a mother has transformed my life, and point of view on everything. My son (6) and daughter (4) are the reason I began capturing portrait photographs.
and wife
I am so fortunate to have a loving and supportive husband who encourages me to pursue my hobbies and make a difference. He is a proud member of the USAR an we love our military community.
making an impact
My personal experience with foster care (both of humans and animals) and adoption has inspired me to use my photography to make a difference. I'm also committed to promoting equal rights and accessibility for all.
and having fun
I love to stay busy and have fun - I have a ton of hobbies! Travel, weight-lifting, fishing, scuba diving, competitive shooting, coloring and crafting, playing sports and cheering on my teams, listening to music and attending concerts, hiking, sky diving, and consulting businesses!
