When asked about how I first became interested in photography, I always dedicate my answer to my father. My dad was a photographer himself, and I grew up learning about the art of capturing lovely images by watching him. My love for the art form grew while taking a high school film photography class and, eventually, my father and I opened a studio together.

I didn’t get into the wedding industry because I was the little girl dreaming of my wedding day. I love story-telling, I love love, and I love people who want to laugh and have a great time because they realize that life is short and beautiful. Wedding photography is all of those things at once; every time I go to work it’s the best day of someone’s life. How cool is that?
