Unconventional Photographer Capturing real moments
I’ve always felt a deep connection to moments. Especially candid ones. My parents didn’t fail to make sure ours were documented. Thoroughly might I add. I wasn’t that photographer that picked up a camera at 3 years old… But, around the age 5 I would sit in our hallway and make a mess out of the closet. I pulled out containers filled to the brim with disposable camera images. I would look through the photos for hours. I would make piles of the images that made me happy. Even If I wasn’t in them. I was able to come up with stories to match up with the images. There was a comfort that came with looking through these photos. Each photo was a different door to a different memory and I wanted to know and feel all of them. I think because of this, my path lead me to photography. To me, this is more than a job. It’a a form of therapy. It’s a gift I can give that lasts forever. My goal is for my clients to look through their images and feel that similar feeling that I felt as a little girl.
I believe this is what sets me apart. The beautiful thing about real moments is that they’re not forced. Surround yourself with the right people and they will naturally unfold. Find yourself the right photographer and they will be captured. (hopefully you think that’s me)
But if that deep dive into my past didn’t do it for you, let me tell you a little bit about myself aside from photography. I am happiest when I am making other people laugh. I wouldn’t say I was the class clown type but once you get to know me you’ll see my personality is a odd mix of Jessica Day and Winston from New Girl. I’d love to believe that my love life will play out like a 90s Romantic film. Like My Best Friend’s Wedding, Before Sunrise, 27 dresses, etc. Other than photo, films have to be my next favorite art form. The first time I traveled was almost a religious experience for me and I haven’t felt satisfied since. Music, like photo and film, evokes all types of emotions from me so I always have it on. If you know me, I will more than likely be offering you a truly lemonade at some point. Or a coffee. Which I sometimes drink throughout the entire day. Last but not least, If you can quote movies or tv with me then we will automatically become best friends. In case you’re a type A like me and need to get to studying: New Girl, The Office, Schitt’s Creek, and any John Mulaney stand up special.
