My mother bought our families first digital camera at the age of 40 (in the early 2000's). Then, as a young preteen I was gifted a Canon XS Rebel for Christmas (probably because I was using my parents little point and shoot camera way too much!). I started taking pictures of flowers in a local greenhouse. Flowers are like people to me, which sprung (lol pun) me into the world of portraiture.
I remember in the beginning of taking portraits, I was told that I had made another person feel really good about themselves after seeing the back of my camera. Regardless of their insecurities and self-hate, I had given them a new perspective. I was absolutely hooked from then onwards. I felt as though I was walking on air with the happiness I experienced by changing their view of themselves from something so horribly negative to a positive. Growing up, and throughout life I have been a big supporter of nurturing self-worth, and once I discovered this, I was fulfilled. That’s the amazing thing about photography, It has the ability to impact someone so deeply.
After graduating with honors from NAIT's Photographic Technology Diploma Program in 2015, I've been working full time as a photographer ever since
My specialties are Couples, Weddings, and At-Home Family sessions. Dabbling in graduation, family portraits, and headshots. Currently residing in Edmonton, Alberta since marrying the greatest partner in life.
