How I got here....

 have always been an artist. I was the kid who went to Sea World and begged for the oil pastel set instead of a whale stuffed animal, the teen who secretly hoped the kids she was babysitting for wanted to color, and the adult who gave up the job most people thought of as secure to chase this crazy dream of living my passion. 

MY LOVE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY STARTED IN 11TH GRADE. FROM THE MOMENT I SAW THAT FIRST IMAGE MAGICALLY APPEAR IN THE DARKROOM, I WAS HOOKED. I TOOK MULTIPLE PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES THROUGH OUT HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, AND GRADUATED FROM INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA WITH A DEGREE IN ART EDUCATION. I TAUGHT ART AT A JUNIOR/SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL FOR FIVE YEARS BEFORE MOVING ON TO TACKLE MY PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS FULL TIME. IN THE YEARS LEADING UP TO STARTING THIS BUSINESS, I TRAINED UNDER SOME OF THE TOP PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE AREA, SO I COULD REALLY MASTER MY SKILLS. TO THIS DAY, I STILL PUT AN EMPHASIS ON EDUCATION SO THAT I CAN ALWAYS BRING MY CLIENTS TOP QUALITY WORK. IN LOVE WATCHING MY BUSINESS GROW, AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHERE THIS JOURNEY TAKES ME NEXT!
