Ever since my high school days I’ve taken my camera everywhere and have always been the one capturing whatever occasion it is on film. And at times… irritatingly so. Just ask my husband and kids!!! But memories fade, kids grow up before you know it and people and places change…those pictures are there to remind us of all those moments.

Not so long ago I was encouraged to pursue Photography as a career. I had always thought of other people, the lucky people, as having fun careers like that. But, I gave it a shot (no pun intended), and started taking family and children portraits for my friends. The most wonderful feeling is when a mom cries while looking at the pictures that I presented to her. That is when I know that I have captured what they were hoping for, and it gives me incredible satisfaction. Like many other parents, I have experienced taking my child to those ‘other places’, and been frustrated that they were more concerned with which direction her knees went and how high her chin was than getting a shot that looks natural and captures her personality. So when I take pictures of kids, I like to take them where they will feel the most comfortable, and I let them play… and it just happens, naturally.

I hope to get the chance to photograph you and your family, giving you something that your family can treasure for generations to come.
