A little insight on who I am and why Photography is my passion.
I am a mother of two beautiful children, a wife to a loving and supportive husband who also works very hard and I am a full-time employee with Department of Human Services.
On December 4, 2017 my true passion started surfacing.
When we lost our home and all belongings, on a cold and windy Monday morning.. losing all memories, wedding keepsakes and our two animals. Fortunately, I did walk out with all photos that were saved to emails, social media and online accounts.
This comes to the explanation of the name I chose for sharing my photography with others.
Infinite Impressions was decided on shortly after the fire. Our pictures we did get to walk out with, will last an infinite amount of time. The impression means just the same. Each person may have a different idea or thought on the type of impression they want to leave behind for generations to come or the impression they want to express and share with family and friends!
What you are able to keep a hold of for an infinite time frame will surely leave an impression, far longer than you may know.
Being December when life took a strong and heart wrenching turn, as we sorted through what was now known to be rubbish and not salvageable..
My camera that I am using to start out with, was a gift to me, from my husband for that soon approaching Christmas morning. It was behind a closed door to the lowest part of our unfinished basement. In three boxes, sure not to be found before Christmas morning. It was soaked, from all the water used to put out the fire escaping through the burnt floors from the upper levels. It stunk... an un-described smell that I will save you from.
I didn't give up on that camera, if it was the only thing I could physically carry out of what was once our home.. I was going to carry that treasure out of that house!
We washed, scrubbed, aired out and kept working with this camera to save it. Unsure if it would work long term, full time or have glitches from being exposed to water and smoke, possibly damaging lenses and mirror of camera.
Once I was able to get the smell out, after months and months of continuous scrubbing, airing and repeating.. I started using it. For random shoots of others, our children, our trips - I started building onto the memories where we left off.
I started talking with an amazing Photographer and getting information, tips and assisting in shoots when possible. She has been a huge inspiration through to this current day. She took our family pictures shortly after the fire for new and fresh memories to be hung in our temporary home! She's taken our pictures for many years, dating back to the first month I had met my husband, five years ago.
I am bringing life back into focus and putting my heart, soul and all positive energy into photography. Sharing this passion and what I have to offer with others has become my true desire. Photography brings me happiness and brings my life back into focus.
I took a while to actually get everything together and fine-tune everything I felt needed work. Practicing new software and all it had to offer over the past several months. I will forever be learning new ways, edits and shots. I will continue to improve my skill and the outcome of my work will always be ever-changing, better quality and new twists! In Photography, you never stop "learning"!
Trust the road you travel in life and EMBRACE the journey that it leads you to!
I am just now becoming public, there will be a lot of new information added and pricing is still being determined. I will post pricing when I have finalized all areas. In the meantime - feel free to contact me and we can discuss pricing and scheduling a session. I am willing to do any session in moderation.
By being here, you're supporting a strong dream and passion of mine!
I appreciate the time you took to read my extended "About Me".

Infinite Impressions
