The Camera has me a captive since my high school. I fell in love with the amazing things i could do with the camera. With the birth of my kids, my passion grew into obsession. Using a point-n-shoot camera to the best of its abilities, i captured moments and documented memories. I also meticulously designed scrap books out of them, which are my most prized possesions.
With the birth of my third child, my photography reached new heights, both equipment and career wise. My photos of my baby became very popular, and i became a sought after photographer among friends and family. Investing early returns in equipment helped me expand to include Maternity, Family, Portrait, Senior and Weddings. My Passion steadily grew into my profession. I get excited about each session even though taking photos has become my second nature. I put the same effort and creativity into every session and strive to capture each gorgeous moment. I have tremendous fun at each shoot that wrapping up becomes a burden and huge effort.
"Weddings ceremonies are completed in a blink, kids grow up way too fast and loved ones may leave us without much documented memories. It is therefore important to capture memories on time, which can be relieved millions of times, feeling the butterflies in the stomach or the fluttering happy heart each time."
I recently left my profession of 17 years in the insurance industry to follow my passion to be a full time photographer. To get where i am now, i have taken a very few classes, most of my knowledge is self-taught by experience and via tutorial videos. I get nervous each session since i believe in bringing out the best in each shoot. I believe my passion for photography has helped me make genuine connections with my clients which reflects in each and every photographs i capture.
I would love to capture your memories, be it be at a planned event, party, a new addition to the family or just because. My ideology as a photographer is to capture the moments as they happen, adding reality into each and every shots i capture. Call me up and lets have fun while capturing some memories.
Studio
Nesteld in the 16 Acre farm i call home, is a cozy comfortable indoor space where i have set up a studio that is perfect for Portraits and Headshots. The studio is equipeed with paper colored backdrops, custom foldup backdrops, chairs, props and umbrealla lighting. While most of my clients fall in love with the farm setting and end up spending much of their time on the outdoor shoot, the studio is perfect for some indoor photos to have some variety.
Indoor shoots are much suited for seniors, professional head-shots, newborn and baby sessions. The artificial lighting and a roof over, certainly helps in the Pacific Northwest where cloud cover and rain are unpredictable.
