Hi there!
Thanks for stopping by. This is me, hanging out in central Oregon, camera in hand, as usual. I used to have a set of professional headshots up here but this photo is more...me. The real me. I'm not overly made up. My hair isn't perfect...and that's me. (now...for weddings....yes, of course I put on nice clothes and get dolled up in my party dress & jewelry...I promise!) I love the outdoors, especially central Oregon, and I'm happiest when I'm casually strolling around, taking photos. I'm so happy you stopped by this page & want to learn more about me. I'd love to learn more about you too!

About My Photography Journey
I've been obsessed with photography since I was a child. I used to chase the family cats around the backyard, taking their photos for hours. Poor cats! As a teenager, I became fascinated by nature and sunlight, especially in central Oregon, and how the combination of the two can lead to these magical moments. Nature photography is still a passion of mine and something I will always love.
Once I replaced the family cats with real people, and saw how one little moment, caught on film (back in the day it was all film) could stir such strong emotions in myself and others, I was hooked! I became obsessed with waiting for the sky to turn golden or pink in order to catch the perfect light. I held my breath as I watched a groom see his bride for the first time & fight back the tears. I cried as I watched a baby girl, who was now a woman, dance with her father at her beautiful wedding.
My photography now is a combination of candid moments, emotions, movement and light. I do very little posing and believe the best moments, and photographs, happen when you just let everything unfold naturally.
I look forward to documenting your magical moments. Thank you for visiting my page and reading my story.
