WPJA!!

I am very excited to announce that I was accepted into the Wedding Photojournalist Association last week. I am especially honored because the photojournalism part - documenting real moments and capturing memories - is my very most favorite part of photographing weddings. I love a good portrait and I think that creating portraits can be really fun, but my first love is to blend into the wall and capture those real moments and emotion.
