I started early being that artistic kid- painting smiles on butterflies, writing my name on everything, and chalking whole towns on the driveway. Summers were filled with creating puppet shows, scouring 'How to Draw' books, or designing doll clothes. So of course my mother enrolled me in art classes. All of which, eventually drew me to watercolor painting and loving it! (thanks to my Junior High art teacher).

I studied Illustration at Brigham Young University and earned my BFA, all while finding my soul mate. But it wasn't until after college and the digital age took hold that I found my true artistic expression in photography.

I strive to capture that 'something' we all have, like when we've settled in our little world and there's a soulful smile and depth in the eyes. That is what I love- that is why I have my camera where ever I go. Those moments aren't always planned.
