I love marriage and being the one to capture that love between couples. I absolutely love that I get to have such a personal and fun relationship with my clients during one of the most important times in their lives.  Over our time together, we become like family.

My goals are to create timeless images for you and your family to cherish. I believe in a good mix of photojournalism, candid and guided posing throughout the wedding day. My hope is that these memories will be cherished by everyone for years to come.  

I'm currently living in Newark, Delaware with my husband, Eddie, our two dogs, Tank and Rocky.  We have 4 adult children and one very awesome grandson, Matty!  Also, we love traveling and doing destination weddings.  

I was originally trained in the US Navy as a Photographer's Mate.  That was when film was being used.  When I moved back home to Delaware after the Navy, I was a photographer's assistant and learned quite a bit from him.  Fast forward, 10 years, I met my husband and we married in 2006.  He bought me my first digital camera and I didn't want anything to do with it.  I wanted my film camera.  About 2 years later I was at work and someone mentioned they needed a photographer for their daughter's wedding.  I though why not and volunteered my services.  That's where my passion for weddings began.  So for the past 12 years, I have been photographing weddings and family photos.  I have enjoyed working with different couples and meeting their needs.  

I want to continue being inspired by everyone I meet,  I want to make the most important day in their life one that will remember for years to come.
