the girl behind the camera

About me.... I live a simple but busy life. I have a wonderfully supportive husband, and two beautiful girls that first inspired me to pick up a camera. I have a full time job in mental health therapy, but my soul shines most when working with newborns and young children behind the camera!

​

Likes. The color green. Sunrises. Country life. The smell of the air right before a thunderstorm. A good book. Swimming. Kayaking. The colors of Fall. Dark chocolate. Skittles. Pink Starbursts.. 

​

Dislikes. Most Veggies (I know....I know....). Construction season. Energy suckers. Michigan potholes. Movies with crappy endings. Lack of turn signals.

​

Education. I have my Masters in Counseling (MA, LPC, NCC) and specialize in addiction (CAADC) as I work towards further supervisory credentials (CCS). I love photography work shops and am self taught in my editing skills. I'm always looking for more ways to improve my skills and education both as a therapist, and as a photographer.
