Since I started my photography business in Tustin, Orange County about seven years ago I have struggled with my "About Me" page. Who doesnâ€™t struggle with that?! Itâ€™s hard to talk about yourself, right?

Iâ€™ve had several different bios through the years and my last one I really thought was fantasticâ€¦. but I just deleted the whole thing because it wasnâ€™t really about ME. It was about my photographyâ€¦ and the truth is - if you want to know about my photography style, look at my images. You can see it all over the place! My bio should be about who I amâ€¦ right? I think so anyway.
So here are some things about little â€˜ol me:

I am the girl who has dreamt of her wedding day since she was 10 years oldâ€¦ maybe even younger. I remember countless occasions sitting on the floor in my best friends room drawing our wedding dresses and talking about our future husbands. I played barbies and while I had a phase in life where I HATED pink and I HATED dressesâ€¦ it was very short lived. I love dresses, shoes, purses AND PINK!

I am ever the optimist. I try to see the bright side in every situation and am perpetually happy all of the timeâ€¦ especially when Iâ€™m shooting a wedding surrounded by stressed out people. I smile and say "Thatâ€™s ok! We have time. Letâ€™s keep moving." Even if we only have 5 minutes to do a 30 minute segment because someone (not meâ€¦ever) was late.

I am a dog lover. I have a pitbull named Shylo who I talk to all day and who I swear understands me. I also definitely have an unhealthy addiction to "Ceasar 911" and just bought his newest "Pack Leader Collar".
I enjoy eating healthy and working out on a regular basis (even though I grumble all morning during the 20 minute process of getting out of bedâ€¦ a morning person I am NOT!)

I talk really fast when I get excited, and I also work really fast. I joke that I only have two speeds - Fast and stopâ€¦ and itâ€™s really not so much a joke as it is actually the honest truth. So donâ€™t be afraid to tell me to slow down a bitâ€¦ I
