I am a photographer based out of the Olympic Peninsula in the beautiful and infamous Pacific Northwest. I am available for travel all over the USA.
My style is anything but traditional, I am urban, edgy, vintage and so much more! My images are all about emotion,expression and ART. to me, a photograph is a way to capture who you are, not just what you look like. I want to see the excitement in your eyes as we photograph the baby bump, the fear and wonder as I photograph the new daddy with his baby....the love between a couple about to take the world by storm as they walk down loves aisle.... and I want you to see the individual personalities in the family portrait. Who is shy, who is stubborn and who is the jokester. Nothing makes me feel more successful than when a mom can't believe I got her child to smile or laugh or make "that face" the one they see so often in everyday life. It's about connecting to my clients and making them more than clients, turning them into friends.
Personal life: I am a professional photographer, a wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a friend....but not always in that order. My favorite color is green, my favorite number is 52 and I am not a fan of chocolate. I watch football with my husband, I let my dogs sleep on my bed. I am certain I have a little OCD, ADHD - both of which help me get my jobs done, so I am not complaining.
I have been married to my husband since July 1988, he is my rock. He makes me laugh and keeps me going when I need a little push. We have six children, two we made ourselves and after being foster parents to over 50 children in the system, we decided we would move our status to foster/adopt parents and faster than we knew it, four children in need of forever homes we placed with us.It is not who they are, its how they became part of our family. And I just recently have been moved to grandma status with my oldest son, Jared's new baby boy being born March 2009 and now his new baby girl will arrive in February 2012. Being a grandma is wonderful and exciting and especially nice when I get those calls from my son asking me what to do , when his sweet little man is acting just like he did and doing something naughty!
Our life has been such an adventure and I wouldn't trade a minute of it.
Peace,
