Our Story


  • My business is literally my happy place. I love creating once in a life-time images and videos. Weddings are my favorite! Anyone can take a picture or a video clip but not everyone can tell a story through them. This career field that I have chosen is so important to me because I do it for my daughter to have a more fulfilled life than what I had. I am grateful for my daughter and how this year she taught me that no other career would make me smile like the way I do when I am capturing memories. When you book a session with me you’re not just a client. You are someone who is supporting my business, my family, everything I work so hard for and I APPRECIATE YOU.
