I love getting the chance to give my clients a glimpse into my life.
My journey to photography has not been a boring one!
I’ll be the first person to tell you that taking pictures isn’t always the easiest task and its definitely not for everyone. From squirming babies to fast paced weddings, sometimes it can be hard to get that perfect shot…am I right? Well, the perfect moment might only last for half a second, but you can be sure I’ll capture it.
Have you ever walked into work and thought to yourself…8 more hours to go? I have! The 2 to 3 AM bartending
nights, or the jobs you struggle to get up for in the morning made me extremely unhappy. There is so much more to
life than being stuck at a job that you despise or not being able to have the freedom you want to have because you
are confined to THAT 9 to 5. After years of walking into my job wanting to quit every day, I decided that it was
time to make a change…I decided to do some soul searching.
According to Webster’s Dictionary, venture is defined as: “to proceed especially in the face of danger” & “to
undertake the risks and dangers of.” Once I read that definition, I knew I had to incorporate that into my business.
I have lived a pretty wild, risky, and dangerous life. My mom always referred to me as the “cat with nine lives”.
With that said, after I almost passed in a really serious situation, I decided it was time to put that part of my life
behind me and focus on bigger and better things. I wanted FREEDOM!
Once I got my life some-what together, I decided to finish my college education and I received my Bachelor’s
Degree in Business over at the University of South Florida. At the time, I was still pretty unhappy…living and
bartending on Clearwater Beach, Florida.
Fast Forward a couple years: At this point, I am reallyyyy sick of bartending; on the flipside, I was very strong
mentally, I was doing great, and I was a college graduate looking to pursue other avenues other than that bartending
lifestyle. On October 15 th , 2018 I picked everything up and I moved across the country, but that didn’t go to say that
Hurricane Michael wasn’t going to prevent me from getting here. I decided to take the chance and start to make the
drive. The devastation that we saw during our trek through the Panhandle of Florida was unbelievable…we made it
to Arizona on October 18 th .
When I had the idea to move, I felt like my life really needed that change. That rush of a new adventure. Not going
to lie, it has been a crazy move across the country. COVID has really put a damper on meeting anyone, so it has
been a lonely year. Anyways, I spent A LOT of time alone and I wanted to take all that negativity in the world and
turn it around to be a positive.
I have always wanted to be a photographer. I love the creativity behind it. Last year around the time COVID hit, I
was creating my business, but I had to put it on hold because of the COVID situation.
Anyways, I believe life should be full of peace, love, and happiness and I figured the best way I could bring that to
this world is through my photography. The look on people’s faces when they see the pictures that I was able to
capture is the reason I do what I do. It makes my heart smile and that is what life should be about.
My passion for photography has changed my life and I would love to change yours with the pictures that I will
capture.
Now that you know a bit more about me, I’d love to get to know more about you!
Still have questions?
Check out some of my most commonly asked questions.
How Many Images Will I get?
That completely depends on the type of session you choose. If it is a wedding, the number of images you will recieve depends a lot on the type of day you have, but will generally recieve anywhere from 500-1,000 images depending on how many details their are that ned to be captured, how many hours, and how involved the wedding day is. For a standard sesssion you can expect to recieve anywhere from 50-200 images depending on the sesion.
How long will it take to get my photos?
I always try to get your images to you as soon as I can, however, during high volume seasons it can take a bit longer. With that being said I typically try to return wedding galleries to you with in 4-6 weeks and standard sessions within 1-2 weeks.
Do you have a second photographer?
Yes and no. Typically I shoot solo and can get everything that needs to be captured as a solo photographer however, I do have packages that offer a second photographer.
How will I receive my images?
Your images will be delivered to you via and online digital gallery, where you can download all the images as well as share them and choose printing options.
Will our photos be watermarked?
No they will not. The unwatermarked images are a part of your package!
Where are you located and are you willing to travel?
I am located in Arizona and I am willing to travel.
Do I get the copyright of the images?
No. However, you will receive a print release, which will allow you to have your images printed from any lab or by yourself. This is not the same as obtaining copyright, since copyright simply means that I am the creator of the images, and I “own” the copyright. This means for example you could not sell the images or pass them off as your own.
