Crayons.

I used to categorize them by what I imagined their personality was due to their color. I would play with forks and spoons. I was always attracted to the shape of a spoon, it was always my favorite. Don’t get my wrong I had toys like other kids, but I liked my imagination best.

As a teenager, I started taking photos and putting together collages. I would use any camera I could get my hands on, although secretly I longed for a Polaroid.

I bought myself a panoramic camera while in university where I was studying psychology. People started to tell me that my pictures looked liked postcards. For my birthday someone bought me my first SLR. It wasn’t as easy to use as a point and click so I decided to take a class. I loved the smell of the darkroom so much I changed my degree. Okay well, I loved art so much I changed my degree.

I started to realize that while other girls I knew were buying pretty things, I found myself wanting to make pretty things.

In digital photography classes I began to work with computer programs that not only let you manipulate photos, but create wonderful graphics. My love for art began to grow into different fields.

I photographed my first wedding while still in university. I loved it! Being around someone on the day they have planned for so long and put so much hard work into. It’s when you see raw emotion. You can see the love, and nervousness, or the “I have waited for so long for this day to happen” look in their face.

With my life changing as well, I was recently blessed to have a little one of my own. Naturally I have grown my business into children and family photography. At this time of people's life you can feel the same flood of raw emotion. A whole new world has now opened up. Life is fabulous.

Did I mention I love my job?!
