Hello, I'M SO HONORED YOU'VE TAKEN A MOMENT TO STOP BY! I'D LOVE TO INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU. IN THE MOST SIMPLISTIC TERMS I CAN OFFEr, I AM A DAUGHTER OF GOD, A WIFE, A MOTHER, A FRIEND, AND an ARTIST.

HUMBLY, I HAVE ENTITLED MYSELF AS A PHOTOGRAPHER SINCE I WAS EIGHT YEARS old. I LOOK BACK AT MY CHILDHOOD AND RECALL BUTCHERING NAT GEO MAGAZINES AND TACKING HUNDREDS OF PHOTOGRAPHS ALL OVER MY BEDROOM WALLS, DREAMING OF THE DAY I'D GET TO PHOTOGRAPH THE WORLD. REFLECTING ON images OF THE EARTH AND ITS INHABITANTS HAS BROUGHT ME TO MANY HAPPY TEARS AND THE VERY DEPTHS OF MY SOUL.

WHEN I was gifted MY FIRST DSLR CAMERA AT AGE TWELVE, I MADE A VOW TO MYSELF THAT I WOULD TRAVEL THE WORLD, CAPTURING IT. THAT DREAM IS STILL VERY MUCH ALIVE IN MY BONEs, and I'M GRATEFUL it HAS led ME TO COUNTLESS BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AND places AROUND THE WORLD--gifting me some of the most incredible experiences of my life.

MY ULTIMATE VISION AS AN ARTIST IS TO BRING GLORY TO OUR CREATOR. I AM deeply HONORED Each TIME I GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO CAPTURE LIFE FOR ANOTHEr, WHETHER IT'S THE SIMPLE MOMENTS OR THE monumental ones. TO GIFT PHOTOgraphS THAT WILL be passed down FOR GENERATIONS is nothing short of an honor.

THIS GIFT OF LIFE IS SO PRECIOUs. I HOPE TO CAPTURE IT AUTHENTICALLY, WITH CREATOR IN MIND, and PRAY my work EVOKES EMOTION - A SENSE OF NOSTALGIA, HOME, OR REMEMBRANCE

xx,
