Blog

Welcome to my blog!

I am so excited that you took a few minutes out of your busy day to come and visit my little place in the World Wide Web. My goal is that this site will act as my command center and keep anyone who is interested up to date on my many adventures. This particular area is where you can learn all about me.....here are some random tidbits of information.

Family (Note: Beautiful family photo provided by Erica Clements) :

I share my life with my wonderful husband who amazes...and annoys me (perfect combination) in someway each and everyday. He keeps me grounded and organizes my chaos in a way only he can. He is the one who charges my batteries, packs my car full of props and massages my shoulders after long hours of editing. Together we have created the perfect little human (I never said this would be unbiased), our two year old son Grier. Our little man is utterly amazing and so beautiful (pictures and stories to prove these claims to follow in future blog posts).

My life has also been blessed with amazing family and friends.... and I mean amazing. I have wonderful parents and a terrific little, little, little (as in 27 years my jr.) sister who is the perfect combination of sweetness and sass. I also have so many beautiful nieces and handsome little nephews and lots of sister-friends who are always there for me and supporting me.

Education:

Ready for it? It's not what you would expect from a photographer!!! I graduated from the University of Lethbridge with a Management degree (accounting major) and an Arts degree (history major). Later I also became a Certified General Accountant.

Me & Photography:

In life my favorite moments are the little ones. I am not a fan of grand gestures, or big events...but have been brought to tears by a hand written note or an origami flower (per my above noted amazing husband). Photography is simply the tool use to capture some of these little moments, whether of my family or yours.

While I will pose families during a session it is usually the photo taken directly after the posed shot that ends up being my favorite. It is at this time that everyone relaxes and somewhat forget about the camera.

Me & Everything Else

Perhaps my biggest defining characteristic is my need to be busy. While I complain about being too busy, the reality is that if I don't have 5 things on the go at once, I am bored. For example, as I am building this site I am also editing, randomly pinning, playing with playdough, eating lunch and picking off paint remnants on my hands from the bathroom I painted this morning.... did I mention it is only noon?

And now, considering how busy I am I am going to end this section, possibly to return later. Thanks again for stopping by...please, please, please feel free to send me a message or comment on any of my posts - I LOVE feedback.
