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, 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 I give a big shout out to Caitlin for seeing something in myself I said "never" to. Now over 14 years later I have photographed well over 300 weddings and countless portraits.
Few fun facts about me. I love adventure; I competed in an off-road competition in AR, I love to camp, hike, and ski. I lived in Fairplay aka South Park, CO for the 15-16' snow season and attempted to be a ski instructor - later quit and was the assistant manager at a ski shop. Best time of my life! I now have a Mountain Family there and CO is my second home. My husband and I got married in 2019 at the Labyrinth on their property where I lived, it was magical. We had a pet Hercules beetle in 2020, he was imported from Taiwan. He now resides in a shadow box in our dining room. I am a bonus Mom to two wonderful girls. We have two German Shepherds and a Cat. I am the Tulsa Zoo's Event and Marketing Photographer. And, last but not least, I love bacon!
