About Me

Ten Random Facts:

1) My birthday is on June 6…which makes me a Gemini… when I turned 26 – I was terrified! The date was 6/6/06 – the most evil of evil numbers! I thought something horrific was going to happen… but--nothing did… so here we are =)

2) I love scary movies (which explains number 1)… and on the scary parts, I watch through the crack of my fingertips & close my eyes (then ask my husband what I missed)… oh and after the movie, I turn into a scaredy cat and won’t turn the lights off… 

3) I tend to laugh really loud and really big…and people say I have a distinct & infectious laughter… and yes, I show a lot of teeth when I do…

4) Being the youngest of four sisters, sometimes the baby sister part of me comes out… especially when I lose… I turn into a big sourpuss & pout… Come on, who likes to lose anyways?

5) I’m a sweet-a-holic… yup… not just chocolates… but love most anything sweet… chocolate bars… cupcakes… Ooh!! And wedding cakes --- my favorite! So if I’m shooting your wedding, it’s totally ok to offer me a slice =)

6) I love to travel… my husband and I travel a lot… we frequent Michigan because that’s where I’m from and that’s where my family lives… and where “home” will always be…

7) I love watching my favorite shows: Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, King of Queens, The Hills (which my husband hates), & Say Yes to the Dress (even though I’m already married – I still love watching it)…

8) I’m a sap… sucker for love & romance… I get misty eyed when I hear “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”… tearful when I’m reading a love story… and cry at all weddings I shoot… just… can’t… help… it…

9) Italian! I love to eat it… and love to cook it! Oh! And I married one! He’s the best husband & friend anyone could ever wish for…

      10) I’m passionate… whether it be photography… playing the piano… loving people… or cooking… I really put my heart & soul into it… and I think people see it in the images I capture & feel it in the hugs I give…

That's just a moments glimpse of myself...I'd love to share more...but I want to know your passions in life...meet the love of your life...capture the happiest day of your life...your family...your new bundle of  joy...that's what I'm here for...photography is not just a job...it's my passion...and I want to share it with you...I hope to capture you soon!
