"You don't take a photograph, you make it." - Ansel Adams

Families, Children, Weddings, Couples, and more

In 2011, I knew that I wanted to pursue photography. In 2012, I got married and my husband finally convinced me that I should get my certificate and follow my dreams. I realized he was right, and I immediately enrolled in The New York Institute of Photography. After 2.5 long, busy years of adjusting to married life and a new state, I was finally able to complete the program and graduate. I learned the elements of exposure, how to understand compositions, technical and artistic skills, and so much more!

Photography came to me at a time when I needed it most. It was like I was walking right into what I was created to do. It fits my personality, my strengths, and has me constantly thinking, changing, and growing.
I have been married to my high school sweetheart since 2012, became a mom in 2015, and we now have three beautiful children. In that same year I completed my Photography Certificate from the NYIP.
I am a natural light photographer capturing the memories of life.
