My goal during our time together is to make you relax and laugh, and enjoy the moment and to create lasting memories. I can think of no greater compliment than a mother telling me I've captured her family's personalities! I love photography and have a passion for capturing moments that every family will cherish for years to come. Photography isn't my full time job-- it is my hobby and my passion a

nd the thing that makes my heart happy. :) I am thoroughly enjoying the privilege of capturing your family's meaningful moments. This hobby of mine has turned into so much more, and I'd be thrilled to work with you and your family!!

One of the biggest challenges as a photographer is handing over your camera to someone else, so you can be in the photos.

This is one of my favorite photos from a recent girls trip; unfortunately, the photo was not in focus (our faces were soft focused). Turns out, it's harder than you think to get a fully in focus group shot, especially when shooting in manual.

However, this is a case where AI came to my rescue and it allowed me to save this photo.

Many photographers worry AI will take their jobs -- I am not worried about AI taking my job.

If you want REAL, AI cannot deliver that. I want to remember my people and my places and all the little details that come with that.

My photos & sessions are about "real" people, and I think most who have hired me and that i've been blessed to work with understand that. It's never about the perfectly posed shot for me. I do try to include that, and it's a bonus if it happens, but to me capturing the realness of the moment is what makes it the perfect shot.

AI has a time and a place- and it's about finding ways for it to work with or even enhance the skills you already have. I'm grateful that AI gave me the tools to rescue this photo. It's one of my favorites from the trip.
