I LOVE to take pictures. For real. The only thing that could possibly be better than spending the day behind my camera would be cleaning the entire house top to bottom (with no children), taking a long nap, and then going out for Indian food with my husband. I shoot with a Canon 5d Mark II and a 24-70mm lens, and sometimes a 50mm f/1.4.
While taking pictures is a complete joy, the editing process is the icing on the cake! All of my images are individually tweaked using Photoshop. I feel like the images take on a life of their own during the editing process and the journey fascinates me every time.
I am a natural light photographer. I prefer a fine art style with casual posing. I want what I capture to be real and to convey an honest message. While shooting, I try to be as unobtrusive as possible, capturing natural moments as they occur and portraying them in an artistic manner, rather than lots of posed "smile at the camera" shots.
Oh, and other than loving a clean house and Indian food, I live in a exotic & magical paradise called, "The Upstate of South Carolina". I have two small children that are totally insane yet snuggly and the best husband money can buy (I've looked on eBay, he's one of a kind). I drink way too much coffee. I love Jesus. I believe the Lord has given me photography as a passion and every time I pick up my camera I thank him for allowing me to use it! To him be the glory!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!

The morning was overcast and dreary, but the smiles of this family surely brightened things up! This spunky 3 year old girl reminded me so much of my own son… excited, uninhibited, and full of life! I loved watching the girls gaze lovingly at their parents. Awesome! Thanks for inviting me into...
I was so excited when my dear friends said they were up for driving out to this beautiful farm for their session. It is close to where I used to live and I can’t tell you how many times I came close to veering off the road on my way home from work daydreaming...

It was such a joy to spend a couple of hours with this sweet family. Their 11 day old daughter was so delicate and precious. I love her face in the second one. The last one with dad is my favorite.
