I had no idea it would be so hard to deal with my mom’s passing. The hard part for me is remembering the past year. It was a nightmare that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. I realized recently that I had never dealt with how sad and traumatizing the events were. It all hit...

Christy and Chad

Christy and Chad were married recently and I had the privilege of shooting this beautiful wedding! It was my first time in St. John the Baptist Church downtown and I was amazed. What a GORGEOUS church….It was unfortunate that the entire outside was covered with scaffolding, but the inside was breathtaking.
Joe Clarke was there with...

Meet Chloe….Super cool high school senior (aka fashionista!)

Chloe’s mom Dejuan contacted me one day, looking for a photographer who would do something “different” for her daughters senior portraits. One of my favorite things to do is to set up a session like a “magazine” shoot and give people a chance to feel like a model for a day. Chloe was a natural!...
