I've been a photographer for as long as I can remember!

As a mom of four I was always taking photos of my kiddos,

but I first fell in love with photography as a small girl!

One of my fondest childhood memories is going through albums filled with images of beautiful people and places my parents had taken

in their travels with the military.

What captivated me wasn't just the photos themselves

but the stories they would tell me as they gazed upon memories that brought on smiles - even decades later, as they relived those precious moments in their memory.

I knew I wanted to create that kind of feeling with my photos,

so I adopted my own definition of a

photographic memory - the rush of joy that comes from remembering the moment captured in a photo.

And that's exactly what I want for you, my clients -

to create photographic memories -

to capture the joy, the emotion, the love and the laughter of those single moments in time, and to preserve them for you to enjoy for years to come.

The photo to the left is of my boys on a trip to Glacier National Park. I love looking at this photo because it reminds me of a time when they began viewing the world as I do - with glory and wonder and awe. That is just one of my many photographic memories.
