When the vows have been said, the cake has been cut, the baby has said their first word or taken their first step, the family and friends have gone back home thousands of miles away, you will have your photos to bring back the memories of each moment spent with those near and dear to you. That is what I love... that's what makes me work so hard to give others something they don't realize they do need until that moment has already past and gone.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love having a phone or in person consultation to create a timeline and plan for your session or event. It helps build a rapport for all involved and get to know one another before-hand.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My education of photography began in 2002, 8th grade - 10th grade photo club. I then applied and worked for JCP portrait studio, sears portrait studio, picture people and target studios right out of high school. During that time, I took on more education online with The Art Institute of NY.
I have also taken online workshops with other established photographers and business classes.

How did you get started in this business?
I began in the love of photography back in 2002 when a photo club was offered to our school. Once the club ended, I always dabbled in learning photoshop online and taking random photos everywhere I ventured to. Once out of high school, I received a new camera and accessories for my birthday and found a whole new love for it again, pushing me to take my passion to the next level and creating a dream career of it.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with many types of clients from brides and grooms to new babies and all in between. I photograph families, babies, seniors, couples and events.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I have so many events I attend and work yearly, that it is so hard to keep up on all of my favorites... but, I absolutely loved working with my most recent bride and groom at the Hyeholde Pittsburgh. It was a gorgeous location and such a great couple. I was able to capture interactions and a story line I had not had done before!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
To look through a photographers profile and make sure their style lines up with what you are expecting. Do not just go after the first person you talk to without knowing that they are qualified and the right person for you!
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Do they have a well established portfolio?
Can they tell you about a recent event or session?
What is their style preference?
