Did we just become bestfriends?

how it started

Back in High School my dad gave me my first camera EVER. He bought it for himself & one day he just let me try it out. I absolutely LOVED it. I actually started taking photos at my little brothers football games & sending them out to all the parents on facebook (yes - before instagram was a thing) - immediatley obsessed. My dad eventually let me keep the camera - after hours of begging - and I eventually sent on to Minor in Media Studies while at Appalachian State University.

Since then - I've captured first birthday parties, the official "I Do's" , destination weddings , graduation photos & SO much more. I'd like to think that it was all thanks to my dad. When I am not behind the camera - you can find me indulging in books on my kindle, hanging out with my precious son , spoiled German Shepherd or going on coffee dates with my husband (when he's not out saving the world as a Police Officer. 

 & Dad if you're reading this - even though you never got the chance to live out your photography dream...thank you for letting me live out mine. There is no better gift than having you & mom as my parents - who always encouraged me to chase happiness & never settle for anything short of a good time.
