The Beginning

Here goes nothing! I decided about a year ago that I wanted to be a professional photographer. Actually, it was more like a need! I have always been "artsy". I get that from my father, who is a brilliant artist (I really don't think he knows how good he is). I used to paint and sketch a good bit, but since having children, my creative focus has drifted towards photography. I found myself analyzing photos of my boys and really wanting them to be better. So for the past year, I have been on a mission to learn and practice as much as possible. Lucky for me, I have two of the most beautiful models on the planet. Needless to say, I have a photo from nearly every day of my boys lives. I know it drives them CRAZY, but it is special for me and I know one day they will appreciate it. My mother used to force my brother and I to sit through endless photo sessions at every holiday or vacation...It was pure torture at the time. But know, I have documented memories that I otherwise would not have.



I really wanted to put off setting up a blog or website until I was sure I would be a success, but things are moving a bit quicker than expected. I have been asked by many friends and family to do portraits or photograph special occasions over the past few months, with many more sessions already scheduled for the future. I get such joy and excitement from doing this and really don't look at it as a job. I really enjoy every aspect of it and get as much, if not more, out of it as the people I am photographing. This IS a very new adventure for me and I can assure you (my customers) that my desire to learn, and create, and get better will never go away. I am not accustomed to mediocracy, so you can be assured that you will always get my absolute best!
