About Me:
Nice to meet you....
HI I'M WESLIE!
So glad you've decided to stop in!
Well hopefully by now I'm your go to photographer and friend! If we haven't met yet, here are a few things about me: I am a wife to a wonderful husband and mom to three sweet kiddos and more than a few fur babies, who you may see a lot of around here... I work part time as a preschool teacher (with the sweetest babies) and of course, continue to practice and pursue my dream of photographing.
How it all started....
My photography journey started when I was only in high school, my senior year I became incredibly interested in learning everything I could about photography. Shortly before graduation, I was able to work with an experienced mentor and purchase my very first digital camera, which remained my sidekick through my first sons birthday.
Two more kids and years later, I began creating "scenes" for my kids to play in and capturing them at home and in my backyard for fun. Oddly enough, these days taking photos of my kids in and around my home, led me to the amazing opportunity I have now. I love sharing my joy of photography and I have so much fun collaborating, capturing, and creating moments with others. Everyday is a new experience and I continue to learn, grow, and gain knowledge with time and continued experience.
I truly adore EVERY SECOND of growth and opportunity I have been given throughout this journey...I love all of my amazing and beautiful returning clients...watching little ones grow up in front of my camera captures my heart, I also love meeting new people and expanding my work.
My Philosophy
"Color your life with vibrant moments of love and laughter."
"The point is to be in the moment, not miss the moment while trying to capture it."
Let me do that for you, that's what I LOVE!
I love to capture diverse, enjoyable and most importantly, REAL moments that you and your loved ones can hold on to forever. I adore including unique props by request, meaningful family keepsakes or distinct settings, because I want the experience to be unique to each person! Bottom line, I am here to make your photo session, exactly that, YOURS!
