From Art Teacher toMaster Photographer
"Every photograph tells a story, and I'm honored to help write yours."- Kimberly
The Artist's Eye
My journey began long before I picked up my first professional camera. As a lifelong artist and dedicated art teacher, I spent years helping others discover their creative voice while nurturing my own passion for visual storytelling.
The transition from teaching art to capturing life's most precious moments felt natural – both require an understanding of composition, light, and the ability to see beauty in the everyday. My background in education taught me patience, attention to detail, and most importantly, how to connect with people and make them feel comfortable.
Today, I bring that same dedication to every wedding, celebration, and portrait session. I'm not just documenting events; I'm preserving memories, emotions, and the unique story that makes each family special.
