I have loved photography since I was around 9 years old when I received my very own Kodak Instamatic with a tower of flash bulbs. Since then, I have always felt so much satisfaction with a camera in my hands. It’s like magic and suddenly, I can freeze a moment in time and create something beautiful and meaningful that will last for generations. Photography slows me down, forces patience, forces me
to notice things that would otherwise go undetected. Photos tell stories and I love to be a part of that. I enjoy capturing a bit of everything so if you have a special occasion you want captured, I will do my best to make it happen! I started this hobby as a photography journal for my kids (and to capture better photos for my other hobby of scrapbooking) which is where the original idea for the name of GB&E Photography came from: Gavin, Blake, and Evette. This hobby has turned into something much larger with all the support from my family and friends, so the name GB&E Photography has become Genuine Beautiful & Everlasting Photography. There is a quote out there that says, "It’s not the camera, it’s the photographer," and I do agree with this statement wholeheartedly. However, to me, what makes a great photo is what's IN that photo... That's where you come in ~ and that's what makes a photo Genuine Beautiful & Everlasting ~ not to mention that it’s God who has made all things beautiful!
