Tell us when and how your business began. Photographer is in my blood, my grandparents were professional photographer in Portland Oregon and I have always been around the business of photography. I started taking photos for my kids sporting events when they were little, over 13 years ago. Then people were asking me to taking photos of friends and family, and it has blossomed into photographing seniors, families and weddings.  What is your location/area you serve? I live in Salem Oregon but will photographer anywhere in Oregon. I have been known to travel to Mexico and Paris as well!! How long have you been in the industry? What do you think has changed the most since then? I have been in the photo industry over 15 years, Wedding industry about 8 years. The biggest change I think I have seen is the evolution of film to digital ~ this has been huge! Everyone has a camera with them all the time, which has been a blessing and a curse. I really like seeing unplugged weddings and seeing more people just wanting to be present in the special day. What should a couple searching for your category know? Every photographer is unique and has their own style. I would highly suggest sitting down with each one that you like and get to know them a little. As a photographer we are with you all day and sometimes with you in the most personal moments in your life. You want to find someone that you work well with and you want to have by your side! I get to know my couples from engagement sessions to wedding day and beyond. I love it when we can become friends and watch your relationships grow. How far in advance should a couple book with you? Currently I am booked 6-8 months out. I book fairly quickly but I also don't over book myself because I want to be able to give you your finished product, your pictures, within weeks not months!  What are wedding trends you love? Have you seen the fun video and photos of the couple in the middle of the room and every table or groups of people run up to them and take fun and silly pictures with them! OR when the couple goes to all of the tables at the reception and has super fun and wild pictures with each of them before the song ends. What are wedding trends you wish were over? shoving cake in each others face, garter toss, bouquet toss. (some of these are traditional ones) What are your other hobbies and passions besides creating beautiful wedding days? I love to scrapbook and make cards, which brings out the creative side of me! I like to camp and fish with my family, and I LOVE to travel the world!!!  Lightning Round: Who’s your most played artist on your streaming service? Pitbull and Ed Sheeran Mountains or Beach? Beach When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? Fashion Designer Black Tie or Casual? Both Favorite board game? Dominos (not a board game but it's a game) Go to beverage?
