Why I Love What I Do
A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with a genetic disorder that affects my mobility. Devastated, I made the difficult decision to step away from photography—a craft I had poured my heart into. My last wedding was for a dear friend, Jenna, who always believed in me and inspired me in countless ways. Tragically, she passed a year later, but before she left, she gave me a framed quote: “You are stronger than you think.”
Looking back at the images from her wedding and the joy we shared that day, I realized how precious those captured moments are. They remind me of love, laughter, and strength. In that reflection, I found my purpose again—I knew I wanted to keep giving others the gift of preserving their most cherished memories.
Photography is more than a job for me—it’s a way to connect, celebrate life, and prove that no disorder can define who I am. Every session I do is filled with heart, and I feel honored to document the love and beauty in people’s lives.
I can’t wait to help you capture your special moments. 💛
