My Journey Behind the Lens

I didn't just become a photographer—I discovered a calling that transforms how people see themselves.

For 11 years, I've been creating visual stories that reveal the authentic beauty in each person who I create with. But my artistic journey began long before I picked up my camera. As someone who has always expressed herself through painting, writing (including three children's books featuring my horses), and various creative pursuits, I was naturally drawn to photography as another canvas for artistic expression.

In photography, I saw beyond its technical capabilities to its artistic potential—a tool for creating layered compositions of vibrant color, for building something extraordinary from ordinary moments, for exploring endless creative possibilities. What began as a desire to create visual artwork evolved into a passion for helping others see their own value reflected back at them through these artistic portraits.

Long before I became a photographer, I was an observer—quiet, attentive, reading body language and the subtle energy of interactions around me. This natural inclination to notice what others might miss became my greatest strength behind the camera. I believe we must be observers first before we can truly create. My ability to read the unspoken, to sense when someone tenses or truly relaxes, to catch authentic expressions in fleeting moments—these skills weren't learned in photography classes. They were developed through years of watching, noticing, and understanding the visual language of human emotion. What drives me every day is my deep commitment to helping my clients find their voice through imagery—to create visual stories that speak when words cannot, that communicate soul and value in an instant.
