I am just a small town girl who believes in love and loving so many things. In love with my superman {aka hubby}, my 2 baby boys {tyler + colton}, my forever friends {you know who you are}, latte’s {shout out to Starbucks!}, solid t’s {hi Target} and flip flops {TNF ones}. Loving that I am stepping into my 30′s with grace, intelligence and with more drive than before to go after my dreams. And, most of all I am loving that I have embraced being perfectly IMperfect.
My greatest and hardest job is being a mom. I think every mom says that. But, for me…it’s so darn true!! Our boys are 14.5 months apart and under the age of 5 so there is never a dull moment. When I first started shooting full time I didn’t quite balance everything — photographer, wife, mom, daughter, friend, etc. I believe I am finally after 2 years getting a handle on how I want to run the business and where I see myself in 5 years.
I am a dreamer. Definitely a believer. I hope for good things. And, not just for me, but for everyone around me. I wear my heart on my sleeve a little too much. I am constantly smiling and almost always laughing. When you have two boys under the age of 4 how could you not, seriously?
Nothing excites me more than getting up everyday knowing that I am “paying it forward” for everything HE has blessed me with. I get to meet new families who instantly become lifetime friends and together we create photographs that are truly authentic because I am able to capture laughter & life. All because of love.
P.S. One of my favorite clients sent me the sweetest card just the other day. She shared a quote that reminded her of me that completely touched my heart. It is now my favorite and I remind myself of it everyday as it is framed next to my computer ::
“When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, “I used everything you gave me.” – Erma Bombeck.
