Before I am a photographer, I am a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a friend. Maybe that's why I cry during every father daughter dance. I laugh at every toast. I well up when an Officiant pronounces a couple husband and wife. I buzz with joy chasing children around the playground. I feel awe when a newborn's tiny hand clutches my pinky finger. I draw from the emotions I have experienced through my own life's most precious moments to know when and how to capture those of others, and I usually can't help feeling overwhelmed myself! The emotional rush I feel when I'm behind the camera is what makes me love what I do. The joy I bring others through photography is what makes me do what I love.

Tate's First Birthday!



My nephew Tate turned 1 last week and I headed out to Ohio for the celebration. Here are a few of my favorite pictures...









I think this is my favorite picture from the day - Tate with his Mommy.















Scarlet came to her cousin Tate's party... such a sweetie!


I love this picture of Scarlet and my sister-in-law Grace.
