What do you love most about being a photographer?
I love that I get the chance to be apart of some pretty big moments in other people's lives. Documenting a birth is nothing short of incredible and for families, brand new parents, to trust me with that is just… it's huge, in my opinion.
What inspires you most?
My kids. They are the reasons I even picked my camera back up and pushed myself to be so much more.
Joys: I've been able to see parts of this world that I would never have been able to see on my own. I gave up my career as a soldier to support my husband's and watching him grow within his career and do what he loves over the last eight years has brought me so much happiness.
Challenges: He's gone a lot with his job. I think it's harder on the kids, him and myself with him in and out. We all have to get used to a different routine when he's gone and then there is the readjusting period when he comes home.
Well, I've been married to my husband for almost seven years (together for eight) and I knew from the night we met that he was supposed to be who I spent my life with. I still believe that. We met at Fort Benning in 2006, married after less then a year of dating, and a few months later we PCSed to Germany for four years. I loved our time there - despite him being deployed for a year twice. So far, Germany is the only place we've been stationed at that felt like "home." There's a much different camaraderie between the spouses when you're stationed overseas. I met some of my closest friends while we were stationed there. Now we're stationed at Fort Lewis. We've been here for a little over two years and it's a nice place to be stationed.

Christmas Mini Sessions {Fort Sam Houston, TX / Cibolo, TX Family Portraits}
Now that Halloween is out of the way I’m sure you are
already thinking about Christmas! I know we have Thanksgiving in there
somewhere. Seriously though we only have 51 days left till Christmas…its coming
up quick! It’s time to start thinking gifts and Christmas cards!
I don’t know about you but my family always begs for an up
to date family picture. I can get away saying no to some, But have you ever
been able to tell your Grandma no? If you have then you have to meet mine. She’s
no joke and NO is not something you tell her. But, enough about me and my
family start thinking about you and yours.
Pictures are such a
meaningful, custom, heartfelt gift for a loved one. I tried to make the card
sending and gift giving a little easier this year by offering these mini
sessions.
The sessions will take place on November 16th in Cibolo,
TX and on November 17th on Fort Sam Houston. These are my last mini sessions of 2013 (it’s
crazy writing that) Please take
advantage of this great deal. There are a limited number of slots so get them
while they’re hot!? (I’m not sure if that makes sense here- but I’ve always
wanted to say that)
