About me & News
It feels amazing to be able to do what you love, and for me its having my own business & doing photography. I have always been creative since I was a little girl. I would paint, do crafts, draw, make my clothes, make my own makeup, sculpt, pretty much anything artistic. Until I picked up a camera and it all seemed to fall in place, like it was meant to be. As all my other artistic mediums faded, Photography has been here to stay.
I like to "play" with the camera and trying to create new techniques to use during my shoots. Playing with color, light, making my own filters, etc. Its an evolving practice and I seem to improve with every picture.
As your photographer, I am very creative with my ideas. I push the envelope and try and capture your essence, not a posed facade. It is amazing what you can capture just while talking to you and shooting. You relax, you open up, and the "real" you comes to life. While the fake smile, and stiff pose melts away, Its like magic!
My Salon & Makeup
I own Salon Blush & Spa, where I am the Esthetician, and Makeup artist. The face is my canvas and with years of experience I had the pleasure of doing so many people, and bridal/formal parties. Through out this time, I have played with Special FX for photo shoots, and Latex pieces for Alternative photography. I can create all kinds of illusions, and looks just with make up and airbrushing. This means Not only am I the photographer but makeup artist as well is always included in the shoot price. Since I own a salon we have Hair & makeup at our disposal, how nice!
We also offer worshops for vintage styling, makeup lessons, spa pamper party's, pinup partys, makeover partys, etc. Check out our links here.

Editing
I am adept to Photoshop, which means I can edit your pictures and do not have to send it to be edited by someone else like other photographers. Some airbrushing, some touch ups to make your finish pictures, Flawless!
