About Me: My love affair with photography began in college, as a journalism student. My professors insisted we learn to use a camera, since being able to take our own photos makes you much more valuable in the industry. I enrolled in a photography class and immediately fell in love with it. Both of my parents were Artists for a living, so growing up I was constantly exposed to art and served as their critique through their artistic process. I have dabbled in painting my whole life, but photography felt so much more natural and enjoyable to me. Being able to capture a raw moment in time was magical. My photography teacher noticed my natural eye for composition and was so encouraging. She served as a huge inspiration and is the reason I chose to make this my career. She pushed me to pursue photography professionally and invited me to shoot my very first wedding with her. It felt so special to have the ability to immortalize one of the most special days in a couple’s life. This is what fuels my passion for portraiture. I love capturing raw and candid moments in time. In journalism, good writing transports you to a place in time as if you are physically present- it evokes an emotion and deeply connects you to people and place present in the story. I think that good photography has the same effect on the viewer.
