I hate getting my picture taken.

Maybe that’s why I love being behind the camera? But I’ll tell you what… It makes me empathize for the people I’m photographing, so I go the extra mile to help them feel comfortable and confident. Here’s the best part – we usually have a really good time!

So let’s set the stage and pick all the right elements that express your family in a way that will be sparking stories for generations to come.

P.S. Your grandkids will thank you for it some day!

I am very familiar with transition and grasping for direction in life. I had no idea the path my life would take when I was in college! I thought I was going to be a high school English teacher living in small town America, raising my gaggle of kids close to my best friends. Instead, I moved to a large city for jobs in visioning and leadership, got married, served in youth ministry, got a masters’ degree, had only one child, pursued a call to missions, lived far away from so many loved ones, struggled with secondary infertility, and now am back in the States and trying the entrepreneurial thing.  Life is rarely what you expect.

I am a licensed worker with the Christian & Missionary Alliance (C&MA), having served as a full-time camp counselor, in local church leadership, and overseas.  I have as contributed to their bi-monthly publication, in addition to authoring quarterly newsletters while I was overseas.  This experience has led to the opportunities to speak at their national women’s conference, several regional conferences, and at individual local churches, as well.
