I am a small town girl living her crazy life in the dusty West Texas town of Andrews. My passion for photography started in the craziest of places. A small community college in Suffolk, NY. I was 19 year old nanny who had free time to spare during the day. My boss encouraged me to take some sort of classes to pass the time. Photography sounded pretty cool so I enrolled. The first time I stepped into the dark room I knew I was home. Eighteen years later (Damn. Has it really been that long) I can't believe all the wonderful things I have experienced. But maybe the best experiences have been documenting my own family's memories. My kids are now quite used to my camera in their face.
The truth is, I love documenting the special candid moments. I have rarely photographed a wedding when tears weren't streaming down my cheeks during the ceremony. I have NEVER photograph a family session when the children didn't make me full belly laugh at something they said or did while the parents apologize embarrassed! These moments are priceless. These are the ones we want to remember.
I love what I do. I feel so lucky to get to do something I have been passionate about for almost two decades. I would love to capture your special moments too.
