The true story is, I fell in love with photography. I fell in love with the story it tells. I fell in love with the way it captures emotion. I fell in love with everything photography has to offer. Did I always know I wanted to be a photographer? Absolutely not. Something I have always known is that I want to be a mom. While dreaming of that stage of my life, I found photography somewhere along the way. Logically, it made sense. It's a job where I can be my own boss, make my own hours, and take a step back if needed when I do become a mom. But I never would have guessed how much I was going to fall in love with the art aspect of photography. I also didn't know it would invite me into places of vulnerability with my clients, opening doors to get to know them and their beautiful stories. I get to experience some of the happiest days and moments of peoples lives all year long through photography. How cool is that. I would have never said I was a creative person, but being in this business, it has grown me in ways I never could have imagined. I've learned (and will forever keep learning) how to tell stories through photos while also capturing moments. It's a gift within itself to be able to offer my clients with memories they can stay in forever through photographs. Isn't that what it's all about? Capturing a moment in time that you can look back on and reminisce on no matter how much time has passed. There's something so beautiful about that.
