My Journey

From Art Teacher toMaster Photographer

"Every photograph tells a story, and I'm honored to help write yours."

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.

Every Moment Matters

From the quiet getting-ready moments to the grand celebration, I believe every part of your story deserves to be captured with care and artistry.

Timeless Over Trendy

While I stay current with techniques, I focus on creating timeless images that will be treasured for generations, not just this season.

Your Story, Your Way

No two celebrations are alike. I tailor my approach to reflect your unique personality, style, and vision for your special day.

"Photography is more than just capturing images – it's about preserving the emotions, the connections, and the fleeting moments that make life beautiful. Every click of my shutter is intentional, every edit is purposeful, and every final image is a piece of art that tells your unique story."
