What do you love about your job?

There is so many things about this that I could say. Being surrounded by the aesthetic of creating a space used that is just purley used to create itself is such an honor. Then to be able to bring out any doubt someone may have by being in front of the camera, and seeing that nervousness collapse over the course of the shot makes me feel like super women. It's a dance between you and your clients, because as the person behind the camera, you not only need to direct how your clients look but how they feel about themselves throughout the process.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

When I am photographing event one of my strategies is when I like to capture a group of people without them noticing me so that they might be able to find these photos of them later on - happy to see that this was a genuine moment captured of them that was uninterrupted and true.

When I am engaged in a shoot for couples I like to make them laugh. I ask the both of them to talk about certain things that make them laugh - like a secret joke they hold with each other or maybe even asking them to ask each other the about how much their love means to them - which gets so many reactions - from being cheesy, to romantic, or even sometimes to getting those teary eyed shots.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

My mom - shes proud. :)

I don't have any honorable mentions, but have been recognized in a few magazines - Modern Luxury of San Diego and the ZINE in Michigan

A fun fact about this photographer

I am also a musician and play ukulele and sing. Rarely do I get up on stage, but I do love jamming out around a campfire.
I am self taught when it comes to photography - which I wanted to learn while traveling the world.
