It began with a polaroid camera that I received as a Christmas gift during my teenage years and I’ve been snapping pictures and keeping up with the latest camera models ever since! My love for photography began with a simple desire of wanting to capture special memories with family and friends. When my children were born; however, capturing special moments rose to a new level.  It even required the investment in a camcorder, allowing me to photograph and record first steps  and haircuts, far before the luxury of the cell phone camera. I vlogged moments at the family reunions well before the word “vlog” ever existed. As important as capturing special moments has been in my life. My passion for photography has since taken on a life of its own!
