A little bit about me
As far back as I remember, I've enjoyed bringing photos and stories together. What I really enjoy is including little details in my journaling, little bits of history, little bits of current trends and issues, little bits of real life to go along with the story and photos at hand. I also enjoy capturing those things beyond the obvious, those little things that will have my children and I saying, "oh yeah! I remember that!" in the years yet down the road.
As far as my style, I consider myself pretty classic and straightforward. I love event layouts, I love two-page layouts and I love pages that tell a story. I like to find color combinations and product that help my page to pop while keeping the photos and the story as my focus.
So far, I've been enjoying the road I'm on. I've been extremely fortunate and blessed in my little niche in the industry and look forward to seeing what else is in my future. I can be contacted at either [email protected] or [email protected]
