I fell in love with photography as a young child, and began to really nurture that love in the darkroom as a high school student. In addition to being a photographer I am a licensed cosmetologist. My cosmetology background and experience gives me an edge when it comes to photographing people and having a great eye for detail. In an effort to familiarized myself with the newest digital technology as well as enhance my skill set, I obtained my degree in visual communication with a concentration in photography. I opened the doors of Studio 57 Photography, my first professional studio, in 2005. Since then I have continued to hone my craft, studying under some of the countries best photographers. In my spare time I am a volunteer photographer for Flashes Of Hope and Outreach Inc. I believe that I have been blessed with my gifts and talents to be a blessing to others.
