She picked up a camera in 2011 and, with the help of great mentors, learned how to use it. Photography won her over, and she started photographing professionally in 2012 as a full-time second photographer and part-time lead photographer for weddings in St. Louis, MO, where she grew up. She moved out to California at the end of 2013, continuing in the field of photography and digital artistry. She is a wife and a mom and loves to spend her free time with her family exploring all of the beauty that California has to offer.
