I’ve had a love and respect for art as a whole for as long as I can remember. Pottery was one of my favorite electives in school. I loved painting when we had snow days growing up. Then photography became a passion. I’d photograph my childhood pets, fresh snow on pine tree branches and ask my sisters to model for me. It wasn’t until I got my first “big girl job” after college I realized I had an entrepreneurial spirit and wanted to do more than sit at a desk job 40 hours a week.
I have memories as a little girl going into my parents’ closet
and pulling out the boxes and albums filled to the brim
with photographs. Photos of my mom and dad before they
had kids. Us as a family at Disney World. My little sister
learning how to ride a bike. These photos take me back.
Maybe triggering a memory. Maybe bringing me to a time
and place where I wasn’t, but the image tells a story. It
makes me feel as if I was part of it.
That’s why wedding photography is so important to me. It
can make you feel a certain way, whether you were part of
the moment or not.
Emotive, strong and powerful imagery when paired with beautifully composed lines and two people in love isn’t just magic. It takes someone with an eye for detail, an anticipation of what could happen next and a calm and composed presence on your wedding day to make it happen. Someone who can guide when needed, but can be a fly on the wall and document moments to cherish for a lifetime as they are unfolding and fleeting in seconds. That’s not magic. That’s my superpower.
