I'm a full time stay at home mama and an occasional photographer based in Wilmington, Delaware!
My passion for photography started long before I even recognized it. Some of my fondest memories are sitting with my grandfather with photo albums piled high, going through them one after the other (this is something we still do to this day together). His love for capturing moments in time has certainly passed down to me. There's something about the tangible realness of a photo album that I love, but I can still appreciate the convenience of a digital file too.
Fast forward to my time during high school and college... I took a few photography classes, learned how to use Photoshop, I bought my first film camera and processed film in a dark room (talk about difficult!). I began to appreciate photography the more I had learned. I received my first DSLR camera during this time as well, but still did not recognize my calling.
Once I graduated college, I met the love of my life, went on to law school, got married, bought a house, and continued to shoot with whatever free time I could find in between. I sought expert guidance from two photographers that I highly admire (shout out to M2 Photography), upgraded my software, my camera, and decided to pursue my passion. After ending up with a house full of rescue animals (two dogs and three cats; I am a huge animal lover), we began the discussion of having a baby. I knew that once I got pregnant, I wanted to stay home with our daughter, but still have a creative outlet for myself. So I took a leap of faith and have been so incredibly blessed for the opportunity to work with each and every one of you.
Whether you're looking to update your portfolio, or this is your very first photo shoot, I provide plenty of direction so you feel comfortable in your photos. I've had my fair share of experience in front of the camera during my reign as Miss Delaware USA and truly believe this gives me a different perspective and "eye" when it comes to photographing my clients and my photography style.
Please enjoy browsing my photos and message me if you are interested in booking a session. I would love to meet you!
