I am with out a doubt thankful for my amazing Family. They are my heart and soul but that aside one of the things I am so incredibly thankful for is YOU. My wonderful clients, the people who follow my work, those of you who come up to me at the grocery store to share with me your love for my work, for those of you that refer me to your friends and family, I am just overwhelmed by the amazing people that support this dream and passion of mine. Thankful just doesn’t seem enough. Just typing this brings buckets of tears. I’m thankful for trust, faith, vision, and passion which are the things that connect me to you.

In life all I’ve ever wanted was to be an amazing Wife and Mother and to raise independent, amazing children who add value to this world.  I feel like I am a better Mother because of my ability to chase this dream of mine.  As my children grow they get to watch me live my dream.  You guys are all so wonderful and accommodating.  My availability and schedule always depends on my children and I know that can often be frustrating for some of you but you are all so wonderful about it.  This passion turned job of mine gives me the ability to be home with my children while chasing a dream.  While fulfilling a passion deep inside my heart.  I am forever thankful for all of you that support me and cheer me along on this journey!

For every time you’ve spoken my name to another, I thank you.  For every time you have “liked” a photo or comment on my Facebook page, I thank you.  For every time you have scheduled a session or chosen me to photograph your wedding over all of the other amazing photographers in this community, I thank you!  But MOST OF ALL….I thank you for being YOU, which is the inspiration behind everything I do.  From the absolute bottom of my heart I am so thankful for all of my clients and fans!

I’d also love to say how thankful I am for my community of great photographers.  This business is saturated with photographers and it’s nice when some of us can rise above the competitiveness and come together as friends and colleges who all share a similar passion of capturing memories through the lens of our beloved cameras.  I am very thankful for Meghan Wiesman, Jihan Cerda, Amy Salessi, Brian Mac Stay, Barbara Yasuhara, Bob Stinder, Tess and RC, Mike Colon, and everyone I am possibly forgetting to mention!  I am just so thankful for the support, the inspiration, and the camaraderie. And last but NOT NOT NOT least I am so thankful for my assistant Jordan Hoppes.  She is a past Bride of mine and now an aspiring Photographer who is going to be WILDLY successful!  Thank you for everything you do for me!  I am so thankful you chose me to help be apart of your journey!
