Like a lot of moms, I first picked up my camera to photograph my own kids. 

Coming from a science background, I was immediately drawn to all the technical aspects of photography. 

Two years after I purchased my first “real” camera, I attended a conference and trained on photography for teenagers - the same kids I was already working with daily and loved dearly. It blew me away! I immediately decided to rebrand and focus on senior photography - a niche that a lot of our fellow photographers are scared of because of their perceptions about high school seniors. I love challenging those perceptions.

Once I found the kind of photography that felt like home to me, I was done saying yes to any and all types of shoots without fully understanding what they involved. And I was finished working myself to the point of burnout with no systems to keep the business (and me) thriving.
