On the business side
My journey into photography began with a simple yet life-changing gift: a film camera from my husband.
I was handed this unassuming piece of equipment and had zero idea how to use it.
Our family vacations became my canvas, and I was instantly hooked on capturing the world through my lens. I am self taught with MANY trials and errors but I knew back then that this was the career path for me.
What started as a casual interest quickly grew into a deep passion. I found myself experimenting with angles, lighting, and composition, eager to learn more about the art of photography. The joy of freezing a moment in time, preserving both the visual beauty and the emotion of the scene, was exhilarating. Friends and family soon started asking for my help with their events, and each request was a new adventure that further fueled my enthusiasm.
Then one day I had a phone call from a very stressed bride. Her photographer cancelled on them 2 weeks out from their wedding and they were given my name to reach out to. INSERT PANIC! Our conversation went along the lines of “I have never shot a wedding before – “Thats ok, I am happy to get whatever we can get” So, with a lot of hesitation I agreed to photograph one of the most incredibly important days for them.
I immediately went into research mode and the day finally arrived. Not only did I photograph the wedding, the clients were happy, I was beyond happy and knew I had definitely found my career.
Over the last 20 years (yes 20!) I have pushed myself to learn everyday. I have photographed over 1000 weddings and in the last 5 years have really started learning towards the corporate world.
My goal then was to help couples have the best day they could, now it is to help businesses really stand out amongst a very crowded space with professionally lit and shot images.
My fur babies
My 2 fluffy companions aren’t too far from my feet when I am home and love a snuggle at night.
Odin loves a cuddle and a brush. He’s a Maine Coon with so much personality. He announces everytime he is having a drink just in case we wanted to know and whenever I am in the kitchen he thinks it is dinner time.
He unfortunately has feline leukemia. Christmas eve 2021 we were told he had around 2 months to live. So far he is defying ALL odds and we are so happy he is.
Pearl the ragdoll, what can I say about Pearl apart from her being completely neurotic, a bit broken, barks like a dog, gets the zoomies a lot and loves cuddles, when it suits her and no other time. She jumps in bed with me every morning for a quick snuggle before she’s had enough of humans in her space. We just adore her crazy ways.
My human babies
The gooey part of the about me section. Apart from their dad, these 2 are the absolute loves of my life. I count myself so very lucky to have 2 beautiful, healthy, loving boys who have grown into the most gorgeous men.
There aren’t enough words to explain how much I love them.
Everything I do is for them.
