family historian
—
Whether I was collecting frames in my pre-teen bedroom, learning how to develop film in the darkroom high school, taking business classes at James Madison, studying family photography with my toddlers running around, I’ve found passion and joy in creating memories that can be relived and enjoyed for generations. And while I’m terrible at knowing history from history books, I’m really good at documenting the present with photos and videos for future generations.
I’ve spent decades balancing a corporate gig and my photography/videography dream. I’m left-brained and right-brained and find the most balanced when I fill my days with both.
Over the last 5 years or so, I’ve been my own family’s videographer and truly love the family films I’ve made of our big and little adventures. From destination vacations to little memories, like a softball game, bringing home our new puppy, the first day of school and so much more.
As I’ve followed my photography journey, I’ve also found that families have an opportunity to capture what a professional photographer often can’t. Everyday moments. We’re so busy creating memories with our families and rarely have the times to compile and make it more than hundreds (maybe thousands) of 10 second videos in our photo album. I’m embracing an opportunity to use my lifelong investment in learning about photography and videography to help family create films about the memories that mean the most to them.
