I am one of those people that truly believe all things are possible. I am passionate about living a life I love. I was not always this way. For more than ten years I was stuck doing my backup profession, living a life that was my Plan B because I was too afraid to go for Plan A. Each day I went to work and I was miserable. I would sit and dream about freedom. I learned the art of decision in 2013 when I quit my full time job and committed to myself that I would grow my small little photography business into my bread and butter. I designed a life of travel, doing what I want when I want, booking gigs all over the globe, and being happier than any one person should ever be (but oh, how we deserve this!).
I have a deep belief that the only way the world will be at its best is if WE are at our best. And we are at our best ONLY when we wake up every day and love who we are and what we are doing. I am fiercely committed to my own success and to the success of each business owner I coach, mentor, and teach. I have worked and lived in more than 7 different countries, traveled to more than 40 of them, and have a plan to visit every country in the world before I’m 50. I’m making good headway.

Photography has been a part of my life since I was 14 and a family friend gave me their old camera. It was a Canon AE-1 and I took it everywhere. Imagine my delight when in college, someone said that if I kept working hard and training, that I could be a professional. You mean, I'd get PAID to take pictures??? It was like someone had told me that I could get paid for eating ice cream! So, choosing to be a photographer as my career wasn't a difficult decision. Deciding which type of photography to specialize in, though, was harder. I kept thinking that I wanted to be a National Geographic photographer and travel the globe, but one day I read an article that said they were all divorced and spent months and months at a time away from their children. Photographing joyful events made much more sense for my personality, so wedding was a perfect fit!

I started a love of photography around 2008 after I graduated college and went on a three-week trip to Europe with my first DSLR. After that, I was hooked. I was introduced to the wonders of my own backyard, the desert Southwest, and have enjoyed many photography adventures there since. I love to travel, and have found that photography allows me to capture, remember and share memories with myself, friends and family.

Having received my first camera for my 16th birthday, I have been trying to make pictures for more than 30 years. My first paying job as a photographer was right out of high school when I was a “staffer” for a sports magazine. There I honed my skills in the photo journalist and studio aspects of the business.
I spent several years printing in a Professional B&W lab before selling cameras in a retail store. Both jobs were a gold mine for learning the gear and techniques that make better images. After 7 years as a camera store “geek”, I joined Nikon in 1994.
