I am a wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend, most importantly, lover of Jesus Christ, who absolutely LOVES photography! I have always enjoyed photography and for as long as I can remember, have had a camera in my hands. As a kid I got a little camera to tote around with me, when I graduated from High School my parents bought me a canon 35mm camera with a very nice lens - I took that with me wherever I went . . . and THEN. . . I got tired of luggin' that thing around with me . . . so, I bought a small point and shoot digital camera - my love of photography dissipated at that point. It wasn't until I borrowed my mom's Canon xti SLR camera that I FELL IN LOVE . . . again! I forgot how much I loved photography and capturing sweet, silly, precious moments on film (or memory cards).
I am not the type of photographer that wants you to look at the camera and smile - I'd rather you look at one another and laugh silly! I want to create a memory that you can treasure for the rest of your lives! My favorite pictures are the ones where everyone is being themselves! I love to capture kids being kids - throwing sand, spinning around in a special princess dress, swinging on swings, running around, doing what they love to do - that is the best!
I work out of The Santa Clarita Valley, but would love to go wherever you are - "have camera, will travel".
If you are interested in a shoot - email me - I'd love to talk to you and discuss your needs and desires.
