2009 was the year it began. As I was planning my wedding I fell in love with photography. There were so many pretty pictures out there, and I wanted to be able to create beautiful pictures on my own. That year, I received my first dSLR camera as a wedding gift from my husband. I don’t think he knew what he got himself into because I’ve been obsessed ever since--reading, learning, and taking classes. I began shooting sessions in the fall of 2010 and knew that I found my passion.
Why do I take pictures? It’s a simple answer really. Pretty photos make me happy. And being able to provide others with pretty photos that make them happy makes me even happier, cheesy as it may sound. I feel blessed to be able to spend an hour or two photographing a moment in time in other’s lives.
Besides my photography life, I am a wife to my college sweetheart Raul, and the two of us are dedicated alums to our Alma Mater Cornell University. My Beagle/Pointer mix Marty is like a son to me, and might just be the cutest “perma-pup” ever. During the week when I’m not shooting, you can find me at work in the world of healthcare administration. I’m a lover of good food, tasty wine, and craft beer. Chips and salsa are my weakness, as are freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. I’m a loud and proud fan of my hometown team, the Indianapolis Colts. I love traveling, and would love to add Europe to the list of places I’ve visited by 2015. I cherish my family and love children. But probably most useful to you is I love being a photographer.
Thanks so much for visiting my website. Take your time to look around. I hope you love what you see as much as I do, because I’d love to shoot you or your little one(s) (with my camera of course)!
I’m hoping the next time I photograph Sam, we can actually be outdoors! I can’t wait for spring and summer to arrive!
