Thank you for visiting my Blog and taking the time out to learn more about the person behind the camera. I am a mom to two of the greatest joys and little blessings in my life, a wife to a wonderful husband, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a friend, an animal lover, nature lover, tree hugger, lover of chocolate, avid reader, adventure seeker and a photographer. It seems like photography has always been a constant in my life. My background has taken me on a great journey that I will never forget and has shaped the way I view things through the lens of my camera. I see potential photographs everywhere I turn. To be able to capture a moment in a way that speaks to your heart years later is beyond words to me.
My first taste for photography came early, when I was 7 or 8 years old. Later, in high school I picked up my first manual SLR film camera and started working PT at a camera store in my teens. Through talking with customers, the people I worked with and seeing wonderful photos being developed of peoples lives, the need to capture everything on film became a passion. It also sparked my urge to see the world. I went on to study Creative Photography at Humber College in Etobicoke. Before digital photography I learned on medium and large format film cameras. Many days were spent in the dark room trying to perfect each image long after it was taken. Initially reluctant to digital photography, with its rapid advancement and endless possibilities I have fallen in love.
Working in many different areas involving photography, from advertising, product photography, assisting, photographing weddings, school photography and web design, I stepped away at certain points to try other pursuits. My experiences have always brought me back to photography and the Arts.
Now married to that special someone with two of the most adorable girls ever I am pursuing what I love. I feel truly blessed to have this opportunity.
