I received my BFA in Art Education in 2007, and have been teaching Visual Arts at Cross Keys High School since January 2008. I come from a camera happy family with years of graphic design & yearbook experience, so have always been into memories & pictures. When I studied photography abroad in Cortona, Italy during the summer of 2006, I finally began to realize the excitement that capturing the "pe
rfect picture" could bring and turned my camera lens onto any and everything! I started taking photos of friends' kids, families, weddings, and pets in 2008, and have relied on word of mouth since then. My visual brain and arts background have both contributed to my way of thinking; I am consistently composing mental frames around mundane objects, or while I'm experiencing daily life, to see if that moment in time truly is a good ol' "kodak moment," as we know it, or at least instagram-worthy! I'm perpetually building my portfolio photographing these everyday visions. I look forward to meeting new people and creating more opportunities to become a better and more far-reaching photographer. I hope to create a client base of good people who are looking for quality photographs for whatever challenge they've got for my camera & me. I am excited to finally put my portfolio online for browsing and make my "after school job" a more serious venture!
