And in case you were wondering:

Hi everybody! I'm super-excited to be a part of the photogirls and have decided to direct my enthusiasm by being the 1st this month to post an introduction of myself. I met most of these girls for the first time a month ago at a beach house in North Carolina. I flew all the way across the country from Phoenix Arizona to hang out with them for a week and it definitely paid off. It's so refreshing to hang out with other photographers who share your passion...and some of your struggles...and to share it all. I encourage everyone in the industry to find other photographers to develop relationships with--and give generously of yourselves to one another--it really ends up paying you back ten-fold.

Anyhow, I guess I'm supposed to talk about little 'ol me in this post. Huh.

I live in Phoenix, Arizona with my cute dog Dixie:

The one thing that makes me different from the 11 other photogirls: I'm single (happy single, not bitter single :))

I love chocolate, Mexican food, reality TV, Jesus and playing games (not necessarily in that order).

I also love weddings and seeing couples deeply and genuinely in love. I feel so blessed to be able to do what I do. I've been shooting weddings for the past five years and have met and worked with some amazing people in the process. I'm a perfectionist, love a challenge, and enjoy getting to know new people, so this job is perfect for me. I'm always pushing myself to be a better photographer and business woman. And the process is so rewarding.

Blah blah blah....enough about me! :)

Here's a sample of my work:

If you haven't gotten enough of me (doubtful, I know :)), you can find me here and here.

And feel free to leave a comment so I can say, "Nice to meet you too!"
