Can I Take Your Picture?

I'm a professional lifestyle photographer located in Tampa, Florida. I have over seven years of professional experience with family and lifestyle photography. I love photography and I love capturing those rare and raw moments. I believe pictures are meant to be cherished for lifetimes, not for short moments.

My photography journey started in high school when I took a photography class as one of my electives. I had minimal photography exposure at this time and didn’t think it would be something I would pursue. Nevertheless, I won an award for a photography project I remember not trying too hard for. That photo competed against students in higher-level photography classes from multiple schools. That sparked something in me as I never thought photography would be a part of my life. My teacher saw more potential in me than I did in myself. From there, I kept photography as a backburner for my hobbies of interest.

Fast forward to college and I picked photography back up again when I started an online clothing business. I never took a photography class in college, so I had to refresh my brain and teach myself everything I needed to know about photography again. I ran that online store for three years and during that time became a photography guru.

Utah is one of my favorite places for photography because of its diverse landscape. I’m also originally from Utah so I might be a bit biased. Throughout my photography career, I’ve taken pictures in Utah, Colorado, and now Florida. I moved to Florida over three years ago for a new job opportunity and I’m enjoying the natural beauty Florida has to offer!
