I never wanted to set out and be a photographer. I really think that photography falls into the hands of people that it was meant to. I have always had a love for taking photos. Not for perfection, but to capture the moments that I will want to forever remember.

I started really paying attention to details in photos when my daughter was born. I wanted every picture to be as perfect as she was. With some advice from a few friends of mine that are photographers, I set forth to make myself better.

Now, I am not a pro at all. I simply just love to take photos. They may not be perfect or high quality, but they are to me. Everyday I set out to learn something new or get inspiration from those around me.

I recently made my big purchase and bought myself my Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR. I have been slowly getting used to it, and trying to step out and be more creative with my photography. I am still connected to my Sony CyberShot point and shoot though!

So please, feel free to take a look through my eyes through my photography. I am always looking for people who would like to be a model and allow me to use them for my portfolio. All ages welcome!
