I've had a passion for photography since a young age. Stealing my mom's film camera and taking who knows what, probably something that caught my eye but meant nothing to anyone else. I even entered a photography contest at the fair and later was saddened I didn't even place, hah. It wasn't until I reached my twenties that I really figured out how much I loved it. I took photos of my pets, flowers, bugs, and people on occasion. It wasn't until I had a friend from high school ask me to photograph her wedding. Well first, I said no way, never! I have no idea what I'm doing. She told me; I trust you, you have an eye for it. Well I trusted her belief in me and I photographed her wedding...almost passing out from anxiety. I posted some of the photos and then my career in photography snowballed. So, never say - never. Now over 15 years later I have photographed well over 300 weddings and countless portraits.
