The start of something new....

A few years ago, I held my first DSLR in my hands. I was so excited for a new camera. I started shooting away and taking pictures of every silly thing that I came across. It's not the first time I had a love for photography. I spent a few years with a 35mm film camera and learned how to develop my own pictures. So this new and powerful digital camera was my new way to express my love for capturing beautiful moments. 

  I've always had an appreciation for the arts and an eye for creativity. I danced for many years, painted through high school, and dreamt of turning my sketch book of dress designs into a store in New York one day. College brought me other places and I learned that I have a passion for working with people, especially those with a story. Everyone has a story. 

My husband and I had just married and we were ready to start having kids, so our parents bought us a "good" camera so we could start practicing with it to capture awesome pictures of our kiddos. Here was our first "baby" and also my first picture on my camera:

She's a doll right?? Besides the obvious technical aspects that are severely lacking, I was in love with the power I had to make beautiful pictures. But not only was I able to snap a quick picture of this little pup being absolutely adorable, I was able to capture a precious moment that I will forever remember: the day we brought our first "baby" home. 

The most profound moments in our lives are the ones that we hold dear to us. They are the moments that bring us to tears. Moments that can be felt in the pit of our stomach. These moments are stored so safely in our minds. For us, it's the day we brought our puppies home, the day we moved across the country in a UHAL away from all of our families and friends, the second we brought home our first daughter into the world, when we loaded the plane to move to Germany, the day we welcomed our second daughter. I could go on and on, but the point is, these moments are just that. A moment. We never get to experience that moment again. When I look at the picture of my sweet puppy in the freshly cut grass that she STILL had to jump through, I remember that warm feeling of creating a "family" with my husband. 

I am here to capture your precious moment.
