I enjoy just about anything that involves using my natural creativity, whether it be taking photos, painting, floral design, crocheting, and other crafts. I learned that I had a natural "eye" for photography when my daughter was born in 2007 and jumped right into learning all about lighting, composition, posing, editing, and how to use all of those complicated buttons on my camera and lenses.
It is quite the surprise to most, but I actually have BA and MA degrees in Psychology. I have worked very closely with developmentally disabled children, normally developing children, and adults with Alzheimer's Disease. In 2010, my family moved to Reno and I focused on being a mommy while playing with flowers part time at a local florist owned by close family friends for a few years while starting up my photography business. In my time here, I have spent many years volunteering in my daughter's classrooms as well as helping to coach her softball teams. These days, my daughter is all grown up and I am working full time in the corporate world, but I still make sure to devote time to my love of photography and occasionally dabble with flowers too, both of which I find to be major stress relievers.
