I'm from the small town of Auburn, about 30 minutes from Syracuse. I was born and raised here and moved away for a bit when I was 18. I recently moved back home, bought a house, had two babies, and got engaged! It's been an exciting few years this way. My fiancé's name is Paul, I have a stepdaughter Olivia(livi-loo), our son Theo(big T), and now our last of the bunch, Madelynn(smush). I like to keep pretty busy so when I'm not juggling the kiddos, I'm a full time.. wait a minute-PHOTOGRAPHER, I quit my FT job in August, 23' to do this shit with you! Taking pictures, writing blogs, making crafts, traveling. I also like to collab and have worked with a lot of local businesses like Devon Rodriguez Art, Ambellished clothing line, Cayuga County Tourism, Divine Coverings bedazzled, Gwen Inc, In Our Words Apparel, Chantelle Marie Lake House, Melody's, Cocoa's Candles, Auburn Public Theatre, and so many more. I've been interested in art and taking photos for as long as I can remember but just recently started venturing off into my own business. I've always struggled because I'm very honest, and like to live on my own terms, freely and unrestricted, which is what I love so much about being an entrepreneur.

When I had my son, I had a lot of self-reflecting to do. Growing up, my mom was a single mom who was constantly working and it put a hard-ship on our relationship, but it was a sacrifice she had to make to make sure we were always more than okay. I'm eternally grateful for all my mother did and everything she was. I especially admired how she too was a straight shooter, who unapologetically lived life on her own terms and always spoke her mind. I've since made it my #1 goal to create a business and lifestyle that allows me to be the person I am, and the mom I want to be; one who always keeps it real, and can provide but still always be there for everything. I want my work to speak for that too. So I capture people as they are and encourage them to be authentically them. I'm so honored to already have so much success and support in my small businesses and I can't wait to look back on this in the future and see how much it's grown!
