If I could paint, I’d probably be doing that instead. But photography? It found me, and I fell in love with it. The spark? A job at a portrait studio in a mall during Christmas (because what’s better than capturing the magic of Christmas photos, right?).
Turns out, I’m a natural at making people feel comfortable in front of the camera - even crazy 2-year-olds!
My background in theatre direction made me a pro at posing people. So when a client asked me to learn wedding photography, I jumped in—starting as a wedding second shooter, moving up to lead photographer, and eventually running the photography department for a multi-service wedding company. I spent seven years there, balancing weddings and portrait work, until, well - COVID happened.
That’s when I decided it was time to go solo. With the help of some amazing friends and family, I opened my own studio, and here I am. Blessed with incredible parents who’ve stuck with me through every studio move and change.

Cooking
We spend a lot of time (more than I'll admit) playing MarioKart and Zelda together.
We also spend a great deal of time cooking. Which really means I spend pretty much no time cooking as B is an actual chef, so he makes all the delicious meals for me.
My time in the kitchen involves getting in the way, tasting, helping some and cleaning.
