I picked up my first real camera when I was in high school. This 35mm Olympus OM 10 belonged to my mom (I still have this camera) and I spent any money I made from my weekend job on film and processing.
Luckily I was in theater at school so all of my friends loved being in front of the camera - I had no trouble finding models. I would invite my friends over on the weekend to have photo shoots.
This is where my flame for photography was lit.
While studying at CU Boulder I changed my focus from musical theater and worked on my degree in Fine Art Photography. I graduated in 2003 and quickly found success with shooting portraits. I took the big leap and moved into my first studio in 2008.
I feel so fortunate to have found my passion and can call it my "job". There's nothing I’d rather do than take pictures of families who play in front of my camera.
Thanks for reading a little about me...I'm looking forward to getting to know you too!
