MY APPROACH
My goal when photographing each event is to quietly observe and capture the moments of your day without staging them. I work in a candid style, documenting the story as it unfolds. I am not a traditional photographer, meaning I do not do posed portraits with fancy lighting. I believe people are beautiful and should be photographed as naturally as possible. I love what I do and I think it shows in my work. I have a passion for catching genuine emotion and real human interaction. The end result is pictures that capture the true spirit of your special day.

MY STORY
I have always loved photography. Since I was a young girl, I've been taking pictures. Capturing all the events of my life - big and small. Growing up, my grandmother always took pictures of us kids and I think her love of picture taking carried over to me as well. Little influences here and there. I always found myself drawn to pictures in magazines, clipping them and hanging them on my wall. I loved people. I loved faces. I loved photography!

Wedding photography was not something that I set out to do with my life. If someone had told me ten years ago that I would be doing this today, I would have laughed. I originally started my business, A Picture's Worth, with scrapbooking in mind - to design custom albums for people. As time went on, I began to lean more toward the photography aspect and turned my focus to that. Thanks to friends and God opening the right doors at the right time, I began photographing weddings. Now this is all I want to do and I love it.

I have spent the last several years honing my photography skills, keeping up with all the latest trends, shooting lots of weddings and getting to know so many wonderful couples and their families and friends. It's been a huge blessing to me!

I am so thankful to God for giving me this talent and this business. I would be nowhere without Him. I owe everything, all that I have, all that I am and will ever be to Him.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in ALL YOUR WAYS acknowledge Him and HE will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord; plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
