1. How did you get started in photography and when did you start your business?

I started Photography in 2008 and began my Business in 2010.

2. Where are you located? Do you have a studio space or do you shoot on-location?

I am in Naples Florida. I started in my home, moved to a space then just recently moved into an 800 sq ft new space that I am absolutely on fire about. I shoot families and children on locations, but prefer my Newborns in Studio.

3. What do you shoot with and what are your favorite lenses?

I shoot with my Canon 5D mark ii. I favor my Sigma 35MM (which changed my world) and a 100 Macro Lens. I use an Alien Bee 800 with an umbrella.

4. What drew you to newborn photography? Do you photograph anything else?

I love babies. I just love them. I love talking with new moms to see how they are doing. I think working with Newborns keeps me from having to have more, hahaha. I also do Weddings, but prefer Newborns.

5. How would you describe your style? Where do you find inspiration?

My style is soft and my colors are natural. I do not like a lot of bright colors for infants. They are so unique and soft that I try to mirror that in images.

6. Have you taken any photography workshops/training?

I have not taken one on one training but have watched many online classes including Keri Meyers' which was awesome. One of my 2015 goals is to attend a Workshop or have one in my Studio  ...eehh ummm Keri ;)

7. Where do you like to shop for props? Do you have favorite vendors?

Mostly Etsy. I love Woodsy Wonders too.

8. What are three things you wish someone would have told you when starting out?

1) Don’t expect your business to take off over night.

2) There is a lot more business that goes into succeeding than I ever thought.

3) In this profession you never stop learning.
