Born in 1989.

Hometown Warren, MI

​

I am a proud wife of my husband of almost 3 years. I am a mother of a wonderful 1 year old. I recently moved back to Michigan from Texas, where I resided for about 6 years. I graduated from Central Texas College with a degree in Criminal Justice. I am currently attending Macomb Community College for my degree in Photography. ​
 

Photography has always been a passion of mine. Ever since I knew how to take a picture,I have probably taken millions!  I have large boxes of photographs of the past decade that are so sacred to me. After I finished my degree in Criminal Justice, I didn't have much excitement to find a job in my field. My husband bought me a camera to document the first year of our daughter Cecilia. Right when I got my first DSLR,  I just HAD to know everything about it, everything! I read books, watched tutorials, and then finally just signed up for classes at Macomb. I actually got excited going to class, I just knew this is exactly what I wanted to do, capture moments. There is a very rewarding feeling about capturing these moments for not only myself but others too. Photographs are important because when the memory seems to fade, a photograph can remind you of that exact day and refresh your thoughts and feelings.
