Embracing this passion fully, I've found my calling in capturing life's most precious moments. My journey in photography, prominently featured on this site, is a testament to the beauty of weddings and the unfolding stories of family life. As my business flourishes, so does the bond with my clients, making each project an honor and a privilege. There's a unique joy in witnessing the expansion of families, a process I'm lucky enough to document with my lens in the vibrant setting of Fort Lauderdale, South Florida. Here, my love for photography intertwines with my deep appreciation for family.
Meet the photographer behind the lens – that's me! My photography journey began on my 10th birthday with a GAF 110 film camera in hand, a gift that would define my path. Pictured behind me is my supportive mom, and yes, that's my brother in his speedo, alongside my sister. This cherished snapshot was taken during a family vacation in the Bahamas, around the memorable year of 1980. A moment frozen in time, marking the start of my lifelong passion for capturing life's beautiful moments.
Away from the camera, my life is equally rich and fulfilling. I'm a proud wife and mother, blessed with an incredible family. Love found me in the most unexpected of times, proving that life's second chances can be just as sweet. Marrying as a single mom to four boys, I discovered that love knows no bounds. Seventeen years of marriage later, I'm navigating the bittersweet journey of the 'empty nest syndrome,' proud of the young men my sons have become.
Photography has been my companion since I was eight, a cherished endeavor that evolved from a hobby to my life's work. The transition to full-time photography was a leap of faith inspired by my emptying nest, a decision that has brought unparalleled joy and fulfillment. My loyalty lies with Nikon, a choice not born from debate but from a lifelong companionship that has never let me down. My growth as a photographer has been nurtured by countless workshops and the wisdom of mentors far and wide.
My world is colored in shades of purple, red, and olive. I find solace in documentaries, an insatiable wanderlust for travel, and a passion for culinary adventures.
In essence, I am a storyteller at heart, drawn to the documentary style by the candidness it demands—inspired by my own children's aversion to posed photos. This approach has sharpened my awareness of the fleeting, precious moments that deserve to be captured, like the tender bond between generations. My grandmother's memory, and the cherished photographs I have of her, guide my lens, reminding me of the profound impact of our work.
I hope this glimpse into my world resonates with you. I'm eager to learn about yours. If my work speaks to you, let's connect. Understanding your story allows me to capture the essence of your most cherished moments with authenticity and love. Thank you for visiting.
