Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with photos. Some may say a little TOO obsessed. I’ve been known to go so far as to steal cherished photographs from my parents. I couldn’t help it… I loved looking at the pictures and remembering a moment… or learning something new about my past. To this day, I love looking through my photo albums… and I smile as I remember the scattered memories of my life. Somehow the obsession with photographs turned into an obsession with photography… the ART of capturing the photograph that others will want to look at to remember a moment or learn about their past. My sweet sweet husband bought me my first DSLR camera as a birthday present in March 2008 shortly after the birth of my first child. I had so much fun taking pictures of this beautiful new person in my life and became pretty obsessed with my new toy and hobby. I posted picture after picture on our little family blog and soon people were asking ME to take their wedding and family photos. There was something so incredibly exhilarating about getting to be the one who captured the memories that these people would cherish forever and I instantly fell in love with being a photographer. With support from my husband, I started my photography business officially in the late summer of 2009. And let me tell you… I LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do. Nothing compares to being a small part of the love relationships shared by so many incredible people (my clients!) in this world!
When I’m not taking pictures of other people, I am spending most of my time being a mother to my 2 sweet babies Joselyn and Landen. Joselyn is my petite little 2 year old who has so much personality I don’t know what to do with her and Landen is my little adventurous but very sweet red-headed one year old. I take lots of pictures and videos of them. And blog about them. I am so lucky to have a sweet little family and a great husband who encourages my dreams who I love very very much.
Wanna know some other things that I love?
Planning parties, sitting in front of my computer late at night reading other people’s blogs, elephants, the changing seasons in Kentucky, Martha Stewart and Real Simple magazines, Dove chocolate (with some Godiva sprinkled in here and there), decorating, children’s laughter, and learning new things :)
Check out a few of my favorite people, places and things here, here, and here.
