The story of a photographer

My story? I am not really one to talk about myself unless you want to talk about Harry Potter or Disney. I spent 20 years in customer service. Most of it working at a veterinary office. I love animals and always photographed my "kids". One day, it was her last. I suddenly realized I had no photos of US with her. We set up a tripod and a point and shoot. Six months later I started my photography journey. My goal was simple. Capture the moments, tell the story, and tell it now.

I didn't mean to be a family photographer though. Kids are HARD to photograph!! They don't sit still! Neither do the pets usually. But I found a love for family photography by making the sessions FUN! If I could let the kids just be kids, run, play, jump on mom and dad, TICKLE FIGHT, DANCE PARTY.... there might be candy at the end.... well, suddenly I was in my element.

I do have a love for documentary style photography which works well with the lifestyle portraits. I am a scrapbooker first, photographer second. Learning to tell my story helps me learn to tell yours.
