About Me

As a young child, I found myself drawn to the sparkle of gemstones on the ground and stars in the sky. I fell in love with the intricate details of nature. My pockets were always full of the white quartz rocks that you find in a river rock delivery or the oddities in a limestone pile.  I would set up my telescope and search for constellations. I spent my summers trekking through the hayfields and playing in the creek of our family farm. 

I fell in love with photography in college. In an Intro to Photography course, we were tasked to tell a story with 8 rolls of film. I chose to showcase the farm I grew up on. I knew it had been in our family for generations, but that semester I fell in love with photography and genealogy research through that project.  I graduated from Robert Morris University in 2010 with a bachelor's in media arts: TV/video and a minor in photography.

Since 2007 I have been photographing weddings, family, maternity, babies, seniors, lifestyle, and the world around us. I ran two commercial portrait studios prior to opening my own business in March of 2011. I have a photojournalist approach to most sessions and my studio experience gives me the foundation needed to pose everyone from large groups to small babies.
