-My Story-

I fell in love with film photography on my trip to Europe at the age of 17. The images I captured captivated my friends and since then I was convinced that I had to pursue a field in art. I studied fine art for a while, but I found love at a young age and dove straight into marriage and family. Meeting my husband and having my 2 boys are the best things that has ever happened to me! As a young mother, I ventured into dance for recreation and discovered a hidden talent where I ended up as a bgirl breakdancer. After 4 years of dance I settled down and focused back into art with design, painting, and photography. After years of taking pictures of my own kids, I worked my way into taking pictures of friends and family. After months of persuasion from my husband and family, I finally pursued photography seriously and professionally. In 2010, I captured my first wedding.

After a few years of digital photography, I revisited film and was swept off my feet! I love how it slows me down and helps me to capture soul in a photograph.
