My passion is art. I sometimes feel like I eat, breath, live, and dream about photographing people and their special moments. In 2008 I started my photographic journey, and in 2013 it finally took me to Paris, France where I dove head first into furthering my education of Lighting and Couture fashion styling.

For me, being a photographer isn’t just a job, it’s a chance to make a new friend, and to be a part of one of the most important moments in their life. I have spent time learning with some of the leading photographers in the nation and traveling overseas to Europe numerous times to do portrait sessions for families and high school seniors. I also have a degree and two national certifications in Radiologic Technology as an xray/ computed tomography technologist, helping to heal lives by imaging, and am a ski instructor for Discover Ski Resort in Anaconda, Montana during the winter.

When I’m not working, I love to spend time with my husband, Vince, exploring, hiking, and traveling. I love adrenaline pumping activities just as much as I enjoy watching Netflix all snuggled into our couch with coffee. My guilty pleasures include, Game of Thrones and musicals, chocolates, and vacationing in France. #1 on my bucket list is to go to all the Disney Parks in the world.
