I embarked on my journey in photography back in 2008, driven by a passion to freeze moments in time. As a mother of three wonderful boys and the dedicated wife of an US army veteran, I've learned the art of balancing life's responsibilities while pursuing my creative endeavors.

Beyond capturing moments behind the lens, I've also found joy in curating unforgettable experiences as a venue owner. With meticulous attention to detail and a keen eye for aesthetics, I've transformed spaces into breathtaking settings for countless events. Whether it's a wedding, corporate gathering, or intimate celebration, I take pride in crafting environments that leave a lasting impression on guests.

My journey in photography has been more than just a profession—it's been a journey of growth, resilience, and unwavering dedication. Each click of the shutter is infused with the love for my craft and the desire to immortalize life's most precious moments.

In the years since I first picked up a camera, I've honed my skills, expanded my creativity, and embraced the challenges and triumphs that come with being both an artist and an entrepreneur. With every photograph I take and every event I host, I strive to create memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

1. Lighting: I prefer to work in natural light whenever possible as it provides the most flattering and authentic results. However, I also have professional lighting equipment available for indoor or low-light situations. If your event is indoors, please ensure that there is adequate lighting to capture clear and vibrant photographs.

2. Staging: While I excel in capturing candid moments, having a designated area for staged shots can enhance the overall quality of the images. It's helpful to have a well-lit and uncluttered space for group photos or portraits. Additionally, if there are specific props or backdrops you'd like to incorporate, please let me know in advance so that I can plan accordingly.

3. Sound: While I primarily focus on visual storytelling, having clear audio can enhance the overall experience of your event photographs. If there will be speeches, performances, or other audio elements during your event, ensuring that there is proper sound equipment and acoustics will help capture the moment effectively.

4. Timing: It's essential to communicate the schedule and timeline of your event to ensure that I can capture key moments as they unfold. Please provide me with a detailed itinerary, including any special moments or activities you'd like me to prioritize.

5. Accessibility: To ensure that I can move freely throughout the event space and capture all the action, it's important to provide clear pathways and accessibility to different areas. If your event venue has any specific accessibility requirements, please let me know in advance so that I can plan accordingly.

6. Communication: Clear and open communication is key to ensuring that your photography needs are met. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or special requests leading up to your event. I'm here to help make your photography experience as seamless and enjoyable as possible.

By addressing these important factors, we can work together to ensure that your event photography exceeds your expectations and captures all the special moments you'll cherish for years to come.
