Who I am . . . .

At heart, I am a kid.
At play, I am an artist.
At work, I'm giving a 100% of who I am to my art.
At home, I am a Mom and a wife and an accountant
and a nurse and a chauffeur and a cleaning lady
and a landscaper and an interior decorator and a chef.
I'm not perfect at it, but I work very hard at it everyday.

What you should know about me . . . . .
I'm entirely laid back and fun.
I like making people laugh.
I love a challenge.
My artistic eye and penchant for relating to people, I recognize and
embrace as my gift.
Being a photographer doesn't define who I am, but it certainly has
shaped the person I've become.
I'm a better person because of my photography and my clients;
my muses!

Am I wise? . . . . .
I've come so far and gained so much as a person by experiencing the
good alongside the bad.
I believe that in every obstacle or sticky situation in life, there is
an opportunity for growth in some way.
That a day not thinking about the future is a day neglected.

I am unique. I am close to my heart.
Bottomline, this is me!

Such is how the story goes for my sweet September couple who ironically enough are getting married on my anniversary this year. Ben and Delia or BenDee as they affectionately call themselves spent the...

Woodland Fairy Tamiya

What an absolutely gorgeous day for a shoot. And I was worried about it being cold. I attribute the 70 weather to . .  .well . . .just one of the perks of living in NC. You can have those 70 degree days in March when earlier in the week it has snowed. Crazy! At...

Babe Savannah

Well, the hair fairy sure didn’t visit this lil’ babe yet. And what she lacks in the hair department, she makes up for in the facial expression department.  What a happy baby Babe Savannah is and a really good sport. All Mom Jennifer asked for was one tummy shot from her. Apparently she hates laying...
