I was about five years old when I received my Hulk Hogan Remco 110 film series camera. Every picture I took had an imprint of Hulk Hogan in the bottom right-hand corner, and to a five-year-old, that was pure magic. Growing up, I spent countless hours with these popular 110 film cameras, capturing every moment I could. My mother (who still won't admit she's an AMAZING photographer) has always inspired me. She has albums upon albums of her life, preserved with nearly every camera imaginable. I might have broken her Polaroid Big Swinger 3000 as a kid, but don't worry, I fixed it years later!

Growing up surrounded by the beauty of Cape Cod, I fell in love with photography naturally. Eventually, I decided to take my passion to the next level and capture my moments and others'. Over the last 12 years, I've photographed over 100 weddings, countless portraits, engagements, and beautifully candid, fleeting moments. I'm incredibly grateful to help people remember their happiest times forever. I know how challenging it can be to start and sustain a business while keeping that passion alive.

If you have a dream or inspiration, RUN WITH IT! Chase it as fast as you can, and don't ever let go. I live to capture adventures and memories daily because I love it. You don't need a fancy degree or a massive bank account to become a photographer; your eye for photography develops over time, and patience is vital. I spent years thinking I would never be good enough, but everything fell into place with time.

And hey, if your dreams come true, mission accomplished, right? If not, the next best thing is always oatmeal raisin cookies or replica stormtrooper gear.
