If you would have told me that I would someday own my own photography business, I wouldn’t have believed you. Part of me always knew that I wanted my life to be different but I didn’t know how. When I was a kid, I thought that meant growing up to be a a rockstar or an actress. I wanted to be a ballerina (because don't ALL little girls want to be a ballerina?), but that dream came to an end quickly when I made my Mom take me out of ballet class because my feet got tired. The closest I came to any of those things was graduating college with a degree in TV Broadcasting, which I majored in because my parents wouldn't pay for acting school (I figured that being behind the camera was almost as good as being in front of it, and my parents were OK with that. So, that's what I did.)

I never thought I’d own my own business because back when I was a kid. That wasn’t something most people did back then so I never even considered it as an option. And, photography was something that was a means to an end to document (embarrass) my friends and capture the things that I didn’t want to forget like birthday parties and holidays.

But, after 17 years in a mind-numbingly boring corporate job, with a milestone birthday approaching, a voice that had been gnawing at the back of my head started to grow louder. It said, “You aren’t getting any younger, what are you waiting for? Do you want to look back on your life with regrets?” After telling that voice to shut up a few hundred times, I finally started to listen and gave up the safety and security, 401K, and paycheck to quit my job and try to make a go of doing things differently.

I wasn’t quite sure what “different” meant yet but I was determined to figure it out. I actually credit my Mom for starting me on this journey. Years earlier, my Mom had mentioned something about a photography business. She doesn't even remember saying it, but it must have stuck with me because it was the first thing I thought of when trying to figure out my path.

Fast forward and here I am - a business owner and photographer. I LOVE THIS FREAKING LIFE that I've built for myself! I am blessed and excited to wake up every day and do what I do. Yes, I love photography and business ownership, but my passion lies in creating lasting relationships with my clients and giving each and every one an exceptional experience that they will remember for a lifetime! I’ve also found that I’m super passionate about helping others find the path to their purpose and being there to support, encourage and help them along every step of the way.
