This is a hobby that started years and years ago. It’s taken me all this time to take the “leap of faith” to put myself out there as a photographer. I didn’t grow up with the “mom” that took pride in snapping pictures of her kids. I literally have less than 10 pictures of myself from birth until 13 years old. So there are very little memories of my childhood.

Once I became a mother, I made it a personal mission to always take pictures of my kids and life such events. Through the years of “snapping” these memories of my own children, I’ve fallen in love with the idea of being a photographer someday. My kids would say, I take too many pictures but in my defense there can never be enough pictures. To me, these pictures are gateways to past memories of time and locations and certain emotions that played a part in what is/was happening. You can’t put a limit on creating memories, in my opinion.

Much of my personal experience has been self taught through reading photography books, YouTube, and personal one on ones with other photographers. I love getting request to take other family photos, as this increases my learning experience. These requests are blessings that help me to continue photography and this makes me happy!
