I have been taking photos in quite a few areas these days. Since 2011.  Locations are in the Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and New Jersey, Virginia and Texas. Blows my mind the amount of traveling I've done! 

My passion for photography really kicked in about 2010. I wanted a career that would accommodate our military lifestyle and would be able to follow us where ever the service will lead my husband.
Photography is a perfect fit for myself and our family.

​I enjoy capturing memories and kissing them with my style. I also really enjoy the time spent creating images that make people smile. The time spent doing what I love to do, and engaging with people; is what my dream job is all about. I am living my dream!

Do you want to know about my credentials? I received my certification in photography from New York Institute of Photography. It is a great school! This is where the base of my photography knowledge was born. NYIP gave me solid fundamentals. Fundamentals are the building blocks for fun! ~ Uptown Girls. I need to also mention that my hometown in NY really gave me a unique opportunity to get my feet wet and helped me grow.  If I didn't have that I know for a fact that I would not have made it this far.  I have had THE MOST amazing moments.  I am forever grateful for each person who trusted in me.   

 I have a dedicated drive and will to accomplish what I set out to do, and do it well.

Please check out my portfolio. I hope you enjoy viewing these images as much as I enjoyed taking them, and I hope that you would consider contacting me for a session!
Thank you~
