I have always loved capturing moments ever since I was a little girl.

I come by it honestly, as my dad was, and still is, an avid photographer. I had always dreamed of being a photojournalist traveling the world, capturing moments in regular and spectacular times. I've been told that one can look at my photographs and can see the stories happening.
I'm a first generation native of Hampton Roads, Virginia, born and raised; lived in Northern Virginia for quite a bit, and then moved back to Hampton Roads. I also enjoy traveling for photography; my favorite saying is, "Have camera, will travel." I've been in the wedding industry for years, working at a bridal salon for many years, started a wedding planning business with a friend in Northern Va, and still own a specialized wedding stationery company for the last nine years. Photography had been something I enjoyed mostly as a hobby, but I have had so many requests that I started booking. I have been published in some national publications as well as locally.
My style is photojournalistic and FUN. I love letting people do what they do and capturing those candid moments, mostly without you even knowing it! I can also take charge, pose and prompt you and/or the group for the formal photos. It's about our chemistry together as much as it is about the event. From the time we meet to the delivery of the images, I want to make it a fun experience. There are so many details in a wedding that the last thing you need to worry about is a photographer!
