Fast forward to today—I'm rocking the title of a proud mom to three awesome kiddos (two mischief-making boys and a little diva). Hubby and I just threw a celebration for our 11th anniversary. Oh, and did I mention? I've been capturing life's candid moments professionally for over NINE years—no cap and gown required! Turns out, I've got this fiery passion for freezing moments in time and boosting my clients' confidence. While I'm not shy about "posing" sessions, my absolute bliss comes from snapping up the everyday joy and love that life serves up!

Meet a determined woman with big dreams and an even bigger heart!

The first thing you might notice about me at a session is, "Wow, you look so young!" Well, I'm proud to be 33 years old, and my love for photography started back in middle school, sticking with me throughout my life. In high school, I was part of the yearbook committee, but even outside of school hours, I was always behind my camera lens, capturing moments for friends, family, and the beauty of nature. However, the journey to where I am now has been quite a ride.

At the age of 16, I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). The constant pain had me doubled over, crawling into the doctor's office. Infertility, a major trait associated with PCOS, became a challenge. After several surgeries and various medications, I faced a critical choice. It was a tough decision between trying to beat the odds and have a child or opting for a hysterectomy. I needed help, and both options could potentially address some of my health issues.

Despite being accepted into college right after high school, I decided to put my dreams on hold. At 19 years old, I welcomed my firstborn son into the world.
Just a few months after my first little bundle of joy arrived, I decided to spice things up by applying to another college—I even made it to orientation! But, guess what? Once again, my dreams took a detour. Instead of hitting the books, I packed up, moved to Indiana, got hitched, and started a family. Life was full of surprises, and not just because of the orientation! A second kiddo was on the way, closing the college chapter for the time being. No regrets, though—those twists and turns have brought me to the vibrant present.

After these adventures, I had an epiphany—my talents were all homegrown. Sure, formal education could've been a booster, but who needs a degree to rock at what you love? So, I channeled my energy into family life and found creative ways to amp up my skills, all outside the campus scene.
