10 Questions
About the image…
1. Why do you love this image?
Little Miss E was one of my baby plan clients. This image brings so much emotion to me, as this was from her one year session, and I have had the pleasure of watching her grow from a newborn, to a 3 month old, to 6 months, 9 months, and now one year. Nothing is better than that!

2. What were your settings with this image?
ISO 400,Focal Length 35mm, Aperture 2.0, Shutter Speed 1/250

About Photography…
3.How do you juggle photography business and family and the rest of your life?
With a very patient husband! In all seriousness, I don’t take on more than I can juggle, I prioritize. I do not let it interfere with opportunities with my family. I limit my sessions, and block dates when there are important events with my children and family.

4.A good portrait means …
Proper lighting, placement, focus, and emotion.

About your life…
5. What quote best represents you at this moment?
Other things may change us, but we start and end with the family. ~Anthony Brandt

6.Favorite drink?
Starbucks Caramel Macchiato… serious addiction issues!

7.Did you go to college? What was your major?
I went to college, and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a Masters Degree in Special Education.

8.If you had to pick a favorite session tell me about it and why?
Most recently, my own little man’s newborn session. I had two other amazing photographer friends join me, and knowing the amazing art that was being created and that I would be able to share those precious images of my little guy was truly remarkable!
9.What are you most proud of?
My children… each day they do something new that demonstrates the amazing little people that they are becoming. I have to kind of feel like my husband and I play a key role in that.

10.If you could have one superpower what would it be?
The ability to blink my eyes and have my entire house clean!
