I love photography because it can capture a persons truest identity. I like to see people’s true emotions and creativity through my photos.

I love photography. I think it is such a personal way to get to know someone. Whether I have known you for years or just met you, I can both know you as a person and see who you truly are in minutes of taking your photograph. I believe you can’t make people smile naturally you have to get them to laugh or think of a happy memory before you truly see them.
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration in film. I love most movies. The only thing that I don’t really watch is horror films. My favorite and most inspirational are romantic films or romantic comedies.
What would you do with $25,000?Honestly I would probably use a good portion of it toward new camera equipment and put the rest into purchasing my husband and I’s first home.
