Photography has been a huge passion since the moment I had my first camera in my hands.  I have always made it a point to bring my camera along to every trip and event I attend. Those memories NEED to be captured. To know that I can freeze a moment in time and have that image to look back on forever is SO valuable to me. I had a unfortunate event happen a few years back when there was a flood in the basement where ALL of our family photos were. As soon as I was born my mom was taking photos of every moment and developing them all. I had so many photos to look back on.  Those were the only copies we had of them. This happening made photos SO much more of a big deal to me than they already were. We now have the ability to back photos up to every device in our possession, which is such a blessing because we don't have to worry about what happens in a flood. We won't have to lose those photos that were so precious to us.

 I LOVE going on trips and my favorite place in the world to go to is Paradise MI in the Upper Peninsula.  This town is small but has such a special place in my heart. I spent so many moments in Paradise as a kid with my grandparents making so many beautiful memories- so it is a huge deal to me that I get to show my own family all of those special places from my childhood and make all new memories. I try to take a trip up there at least once a year and drag my family along with me. My husband and I just got married in Vegas in 2021. I really want to shoot a Vegas wedding, so if you're thinking of eloping there... take me with you!
