How did you get interested in Photography?
I have always been interested in photography since I was a little girl. I used to take my mom’s film camera and shoot anything I could. As I got older I was always the one with the camera at parties and events even if it was just a disposable. I loved to make scrapbooks and albums with my photographs. Then going digital I got into making signatures for online forums and would plan out pictures to take for my own signatures. My interest in photography has just kept growing!
What is your primary focus (weddings, children, etc)?
Newborns, Children, and families. I’m also beginning to take on more birth photography now that my youngest son is able to stay at home with daddy for longer periods of time.
I really love it and feel as though it is something I was meant to do!
What’s in your camera bag?
I am a Canon shooter. I shoot with the Canon 5D and always have a few different lenses in my bag. My favorites are the 24-70L and my 15mm Fisheye.
If you could use just one lens for the next year, what would it be?
I would have to say the 24-70L It’s become a favorite of mine and rarely leaves my camera!
What is your dream for your business?
I would really love to focus more on birth photography and newborns. I really feel drawn towards birth photography and have worked with some really awesome midwifes in my area. Kathy McClish from Women’s Care Specialists is among them she also delivered my two younger boys Nevin and Nolan.
