About me and my Portrait & Birth Photography business based in Northern Delaware:
I’m not just a “photographer.” I guess I’ve known that all along. I don’t just sell photographs. You don’t pay me to simply “take pictures”. My main “product” is emotion. I capture raw emotion that tells your story, and that is what you’re buying from me. Your story lives on for generations in beautiful wall art and keepsakes.
My mission is to capture your family exactly as they are. Exactly as you see them. Day-to-day, moment-to-moment… The way they make you feel, and the way you make them feel. That’s what my business is all about: your life – your love – your story.
I lost my mom when I was 17.. and my brother 8 years later. Photographs are incredibly important to me.. They live on and carry special feelings and emotions LONG after the moment has passed, and they continue long after we are gone. And that’s why I’m here. I suspect that’s why you’re here too. I started my business in 2010, with the goal of getting my business up and running to one day be able to work from home and raise my own (future) children while contributing to my (future) family’s income. While that is still a personal goal (to stay at home with my future children), I finally figured out my true why: Why I chose photography as my path. Why I started my own business instead of working for someone else. Why I chose growing families as my niche.
The short answer: cherishing moments. I capture you cherishing moments with your loved ones so that I can cherish moments with mine. And honestly I love my job, and my clients so much that I cherish every moment that I spend with them too!
Are you ready for me to capture your story?
About me and my Art:
I draw and paint in a realistic manner. I strive to have my drawings and paintings look like the subject, while emphasizing certain colors and/or details to enhance the viewer's emotional response to the piece. Much like my photography, my goal is to capture emotion. <3
The Basic Info:
- I graduated in early 2015 with honors from Wilmington University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography and a minor in Print Media.
- I specialize in Maternity, Birth, Newborn and Family portraits, but I occasionally take clients outside of my niche (usually for existing clients that need something special or for local small businesses that need help with their business images and online presence).
- I also teach private basic photography lessons.
- I draw and paint… and I’ve recently started accepting commissioned work.
- I volunteer my photography services for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep and Boots & Bellies.
- In addition to my wonderful family, friends, photography and art, I also love babies, birth, animals, coffee, chai tea, guacamole, ice cream and inspirational quotes.
- I am also a proud member of Professional Photographers of America and the International Association of Professional Birth Photographers.
- I try to live my life to the fullest every day and enjoy every moment.
- I also try to be mindful of others and not judge anyone for any reason.
