Artist Statement
There is so much beauty all around us in every ordinary moment. There is emotion in light and magic in tiny details. Words could never describe how I feel about this life, what it feels like to be a wife and mother, how much I love. I want to keep in my heart forever the feeling of being here, of now. I take photos of things I'm afraid to forget, of things that are important to me at this moment in time. I document life because I hope that someday my children will look at my photos and understand just how deeply I loved them every single day, in every detail, in every way. I find joy in helping my clients capture their own memories. I create natural portraits and lifestyle photos because I feel it is important for us all to remember not only how we looked, but how we were. My camera helps me achieve the vision that starts with a moment, with a pocket of light, with one thing I can't bear to forget. I hope my voice resonates with all mothers who's children are growing and changing far too quickly, with all people who find magic in everyday.
A Little More About Me...
I'm a mother and a wife. My two daughters are six and four, and you'll see them often in my lifestyle work (look for the curly hair and dimples). I married my husband eleven years ago after knowing h
im for only six weeks. I believe that you can't go wrong following your heart. I grew up in Wisconsin and the thing I miss most about living here in Miami (besides my family, of course) is the fall. I love the changing of seasons, the marking of time passing. I guess you could say I'm a visual person. I have a master of arts degree from American University in Washington, D.C. and an undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. I still keep in touch with my ten best friends from college. I love to read, travel, write and take pictures. I truly enjoy being with people and would love to meet you!
