Photography Is my passion; I love turning my ideas into beautiful things. I use photography as a way to express myself. Capturing a moment in time is about more than just securing a memory.
Take it from this mama of three beautiful children, whom I like to call my three blessings. I'll never take this thing we call life for granted ever again, because I lost one of my precious babies, my Brayden.
I lost him December 14th, 2017, in a tragic car wreck. A woman wasn't paying attention, she didn't have a care in the world, and chose to run a stop sign. My whole life shattered and changed for myself, my husband, and my other two children in literally just seconds. The day I lost my son one of my first, painful thoughts was, " I hope I took a-lot of pictures and videos of him so I can see him forever." Like any other mama with a four year old, I thought I had all the time in the world and many, many years to go with my baby boy.
Those four years I had with Brayden and his siblings all together, us just being a family and being around pure love and happiness... my heart was overjoyed. Those were the best years of my life. Re-living a day when I look at his pictures, especially when I need to see his beautiful smile or his perfect little nose, or his perfect brown curly hair, because of photography, I am able to do so. I have SO many memories to look back on, re-live and cherish forever and always.
I don’t “think,” I definitely "KNOW" that my calling to photography is so important. I am documenting memories and creating portraits that I know my clients will be so happy to hold in their hands. Once someone you love dies, Portraits are literally all you have left. The portraits I create are little treasures that my client will dig into one day, full of tears, to re-live one of their happiest moments.
