As a little kid, I would sit in my basement and dig through the countless pictures we had in our photo chest, smiling at all of the moments I had forgotten. When I had a bad day or just wanted to be transported back in time, I would admire those pictures. There was something so comforting knowing I had them. I still do that! I look through my family photos and laugh at my haircuts, or my wedding pictures and fall in love all over again. Now, I look back at my son's newborn photos and cry because time is a thief, but I'm so so thankful I took the opportunity to capture that blissful and sleepless time.

I want to do all of that for you! If I can give you just one of those feelings after I send you your gallery, I will have done my job. I believe God created me to create and the desire to bring people joy, and I can think of no better way to combine those passions than through photography.
