My photography journey started out at the age of 17. I found a passion for capturing moments but didn't have a purpose in my art or really in life. I found myself pregnant and having a baby while stillin highschool and trying to find my purpose in life. I lived the life of a mom through some very dark times including, poverty, divorce, abuse and continuing through it all on the other side. I am 37 years old now and I have re-fallen in love with the art of photography and capturing moments. Some are perfect and some of them dark and scary. Each moment is worth capturing Life is an adventure and photography allows you to freeze that moment in time. The moment isn't always perfect just as in life. Kids will be kids and situations are always changing. My purpose is to capture those perfectly imperfect moments in this thing called life that we all liv, just as in the great photographers Mary Ellen Mark and Dorthea Lange.
