I was born and raised in beautiful North Central Pennsylvania in a very large extended family - I'm the oldest of 38 (ish) grandchildren.  I have loved photography ever since I can remember.  When I was about 12, I took my grandmother's 35mm point and shoot, grabbed my cousins, Nikki and Cheryl, and did an impromptu photo session around my grandparents' property.  I was hooked.  

​

I have worked many odd jobs since graduating high school.  I thought I wanted to be a nurse.  After starting nursing school, I was wrong.  I then was on a mission to find what I would be happy doing every day.  I was a daycare teacher, a nanny, an optician.  In 2009, I stepped out of my comfort zone and, with Steve's blessing, went back to college.  I attended Mansfield University of Pennsylvania.  I started as an Elementary Education major.  I very quickly changed to Graphic Design, because I was booking weddings and photo sessions.  I had found my calling.  Photography, for me, is life.

​

I now live in Central Florida with my husband, Steve, and our daughter, Grace.  Our son, Andrew, is currently serving in the US Army.  We come to Florida by way of Pennsylvania, Chicago, Maryland, New York State, Minnesota, Virginia and North Carolina.
