I worked with Jamie and Bob for many years in the I worked with Jamie and Bob for many years in the Anne Arundel County Fire Department, before hanging up my helmet and picking up a camera. I am a creative! I'm passionate, love capturing and being a part of people’s special moments and making sure people have a wonderful experience working with me.

I live on a horse farm in Westminster with my husband Paul, along with two dogs, two cows, two donkeys, a small field of vines that might become great wine someday, and near all 3 of our children.

When I’m not taking pictures you can find me riding my horse, traveling around the world, on our boat, crafting with friends, gardening, and hanging on the farm & sipping some wine. My love of flowers finds me sometimes working with my cousin at her amazing studio
or crafting my own out of paper.

How can I make your wedding
AMAZING and UNFORGETABLE?
