I’m a total goofball, a Ninja photographer, rock hound, a silly-face maker.
I’m obsessed with tea, skit comedy, Neil deGrass Tyson, geologic forces and organic food (in other words, a goofball-hippie-nerd). A happy wife of Paul, devoted daughter of God, and proud mom to a funny and sweet teen, and a half-puppy/half-snugglemonster named Domino.
My weddings have been featured in lots of magazines, blogs and even a book! I was named one of the top 100 wedding photojournalists of the year internationally by the WPJA in 2006 and 2008, earning top ten spots with images "as is" out of the camera, with no retouching. I'm an active member in Professional Photographers of America, and a not-as-active-as-she-should-be member of the Wedding Photojournalist Association. Yeah, I know, they gave me awards, you'd think I'd be a better member, huh.
I was tapped by the producers of Fruitvale Station to do behind the scenes still photography on set, and several of my shots of the cast and crew, including Michael B. Jordan, cinematographer Rachel Morrison, and director Ryan Coogler.
These days I use my candid superpowers for things not wedding related - events, branding, teens, babies, Watch Me Grow sessions.
(and yep, that's me as the MOH in my SIL's wedding, crouched down in my full-length dress and 3-inch heels, to get a shot of her and her new hubby Trev during sunset - with super-shot photographer Kelvin on top of the hill shooting from above! Trev thought it was so funny he had to get a shot of me on his cell! And in the middle is Kelvin, my second pair of eyes for the last 18 years, who recently retired from weddings.)
