First of all, THANK YOU for taking time out of your day to visit my website!

Ever since I was a kid, I love to preserve memories and moments. I was the one to keep receipts, tickets, price stubs, rocks, you name it from every vacation, trip, night out with friends and so forth. Now I find it much easier to take pictures of everything so I won't forget that moment.

When I was photographed for my senior pictures I had a blast and thought "This would be a fun job and SO EASY, all you do is take pictures all day!" So at that moment I decided I wanted to become a photographer. WOW!! I THOUGHT WRONG!!! This thing called "digital photography" became the new trend and let me tell you there is WAY MORE to my job than "taking pictures" all day.

I love preserving that innocence in a 2 year olds eyes, the tiny little wrinkles of a new baby, the proud stance of a one year old, the love between a bride and groom, the past and the future of the high school senior and capturing "the (life)stage" of a family.

Every person that is a subject in front of the camera becomes more than a client or a session, they become a face with a name. Every session is as unique as the child or family that I am capturing.

You can't stop, pause or rewind life, you can only live in the moment. Nothing is harder to replace than yesterday. Thats why I do this... to preserve moments in time.
