"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on." --Steve Jobs


I am a wife and a mother of three. What began as a passion for photographing my own children has grown into a small business. I have always loved the art of photography. Maybe I love it because I can't paint or sing or dance even though I enjoy those too. About two years ago my husband surprised me with a brand new camera for my birthday. He wanted me to find something that I had lost. I had become stuck in the rut of everyday life. I don't know if he knew at the time but, this was exactly what I had needed. I have found the creativity I thought I had lost and I have been awakened with a new energy.
My inspiration comes from my children. I am fascinated with how fast they grow and change. I wish to hold onto a bit of these days that pass so quickly. I want to capture those moments for the families that I meet. I put my heart into every photo that I create and love sharing them with each family. I typically spend 8-10 hours from start to finish on your photoshoot and hope that you love the results as much as I do. I find myself very attached to the images I create. For this reason I do offer a CD for purchase.


My specialty is individual artisic portraiture. I want to create a scene or a mood. I want you to wonder what the subject is thinking about or feeling. Bring me your ideas and we will create a piece of art.

SENIORS
Senior Sitting Fee is $100 within 30 miles of my home. We will spend 2-3 hours traveling to your favorite locations. Parent or guardian must accompany you on your photo shoot. You are allowed unlimited clothing changes. You will get 5 of your favorite shots to share on Facebook. These will include a watermark.


FAMILIES/CHILDREN/MATERNITY/NEWBORNS
Setting/Sitting Fee is $50 for an individual photo shoot or per family (This is for single families. Please call for pricing on multiple family shoots.) for a 1 to 2 hour photo shoot within 30 miles of my home. Make sure to check out my print prices. I keep my prints very reasonable because I want you to order many of your favorites.
I prefer to do family photos outdoors as space can be limited inside.

*Newborn Photos - I do not use Photoshop to create images. If you have a specific posed look you are going for please check with me before booking as it may not be something I offer. Safety is my number one priority. To safely create many popular styles of newborn images photographers layer several photos into one using Photoshop. This is not something that I offer at this time. Make sure that you choose a photographer who knows how to create these images digitally when booking a session with them.

WEDDINGS - limited dates available -please email for details
I am now bookings Weddings for 2012. Call or email to reserve your date. A $200 deposit is due at the time you reserve. The total price for a wedding shoot is $1300. Your deposit will be deducted from the total. This price includes a flash drive with your edited proofs for printing. You will also have a folder on this site for friends and family to order from. I would love to set up a time to discuss my services and your ideas. When you are searching for a photographer remember to look for someone who fits your style and personality. Cost is almost always a factor but, remember your photographer is not finished when you toss the bouquet. Most photographers will spend the next one to three weeks putting the finishing touches on your memories.

All proofing will be done from this site. You will be assigned a folder and a password. You can view and place orders of your photos for up to 3 months. Your order will be shipped directly to you. The only exception will be orders for Senior Wallets or boxed wallets. Senior wallets will need to be ordered directly through me and we will discuss pick-up or delivery on an individual basis.
