Good to Meet You
On this page, I used to talk only about my passion for photography.
And while I still absolutely love what I do and hope you love what I create for you, I also want you to get to know me. The real person behind the lens.
I live in the suburbs of Philadelphia, though I was born and raised in Virginia. Even after all these years in PA, I'm still a southern girl at heart (I have a faded accent to prove it!).
My Pinterest page describes me perfectly: a country girl with city girl tendencies. I'd say that's pretty spot on.
I'm a mom. If you had asked me 15 years ago whether I wanted kids, my answer probably would have been something like "hmm, maybe. I'm not sure." Now? I cannot imagine my life without them. I have two adorable and silly little girls, Ainsley and Abigail, and the sweetest little boy named Jack who is basically my sidekick in everything.

I was a corporate girl for many, many years, 15 to be exact. I worked at the Daily Press newspaper in Newport News, VA in advertising for 8 years after college.
I then met my husband at a friends wedding on Solomon’s Island in Southern Maryland. That Maryland boy somehow convinced me to move to the Philadelphia area.
I remember the day I moved. It was 10 degrees when we arrived with our U-haul truck from VA Beach to Havertown. 10 degrees!!!!!!!
I left the beach for the love of my life and don’t regret that decision. I miss living there and my friends of course. I’m a total beach girl! Toes in the sand…..the water. It’s heaven to me. My total happy place.
But I digress.
After moving to PA I worked in the Property/Casualty Insurance industry for 7 years. All of those 15 years in corporate/small company/sales has helped shape and develop me today. I’m thankful for my career path and so many I have met along the way.
~I wear my heart on my sleeve. If you know me, you know this is true.
~I spend my days chasing the kids and running a photography business and my husband’s business card says he’s a scientist. He works to cure the world of disease. I so admire him.
~I’m a glass half-full kind of person. Although, I do sweat the small stuff too sometimes. But I just have to remind myself to keep my chin up. Life really is good!
~I’m addicted to coffee. And brussel sprouts.
