MY BACKGROUND IN THE ARTS
"My career as an artist started with fine art drawing specializing in graphite work. I attended Kendall College of Art & Design for a degree in Illustration. From a very early age I was fascinated with being able to replicate what I saw or envisioned in my mind on to paper. I found the process of analyzing the littlest details to be so soothing. The most important aspect of that style of work was understanding light. Understanding how light hits an object and manipulating it is a crucial skill for both drawing & photography. It is fitting that my love for sketching transformed into a love for photography. My career in wedding photography combines my obsession for analyzing details and being creative. All while providing a service to clients that I truly believe matters. To me family is the most important thing and I love that I am able to give others beautiful photos of those they love. After losing my mom to Cancer as a teen the value a photograph holds truly has no price tag.
I have worked with clients from all over the United States and my most reoccurring comment is how calm I made them feel throughout our entire time working together. I am so thankful for the trust my clients have instilled in me thus far and feel so honored to have documented so many once in a lifetime events for my couples. I strive to always leave my client feeling at ease & prepared for their wedding celebrations. I always take on each day with a fresh, artistic take & as much care as if it were my own. I believe in treating others as though they are family."
