I grew up with a camera in my hand in the freezing cold town of North Pole, Alaska. Yep. You read that right! It's a real place! I remember my mom would always buy me those little disposable cameras to take around with me on family vacations, and I couldn't WAIT to get home to get the film developed. I took several photography courses in high school and college, and fell in love with the feeling of a camera in my hands.

 

 After living in Alaska for 24 years I was ready for a change. When my husband got a job offer in the Virgin Islands, we immediately packed our bags and traded snow for sand. We have been on this little island for almost 4 years now, and we are in love with this magical place. The people, the beaches, the FOOD. Oh my gosh the food. We have both turned into beach bums, and because I can't tan, I have a permanent sunburn.

​

My dad grew up in San Antonio, Texas, and funny enough, so did my husband (even though we didn't meet until he moved to Alaska! Crazy how life works like that!). We go to Texas every year for Christmas, and I have developed such an attachment to the Central Texas area. It feels like home to me. When my husband got word that he was getting transferred to Austin, I was overjoyed. I cannot wait to be closer to family, and to capture all of the beautiful families and mommas in Austin! Southern sunsets are my absolute favorite!

 

I have been taking photos for almost 10 years, and I am so excited to share my gift with all of you. You have made my dreams come true!
