About Me
My Personal Journey As A Photographer
I have forever had a deep love for the arts. My journey as a Photographer began back in 2016. I come from an extremely talented family of Artists. My Grandpa Koller was a Corpsman in the United States Navy. He went on to work for Exxon up in Alaska, where he had the opportunity to travel the Northwest Passage, and succeeded on their journey . During his trip through the Northwest Passage, he took some of the most incredible Photographs. His Photographs guided me through his travels during that time in his life. He had a journalistic approach to the Photographs he took. He later placed all of those Photographs in a large Scrapbook album along with the Newspaper clippings printed about the ship’s journey. He also journaled on each page describing his experiences. There is nothing like pulling out an old album or scrapbook and talking about old memories with family and friends! My mission is to bring back Prints and Albums to the Family room where loved ones can reminisce about the “good ole days” and share stories and laugh together. My Grandpa was my inspiration and reason for pursuing my love of Photography. Since I was a young child, I have always thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures and especially loved using the Polaroid camera. In 2016, I started studying Photography under a renowned Sony Artisan of Imagery, Jason Lanier. Having studied under Jason has elevated my skills and creativity. Jason taught me how to use off camera flash and I was able to perfect that. Using off camera flash made for some pretty epic photographs! Soon, I learned how to modify and shape light to create different looks. Since 2016, I have attended numerous workshops and classes to help me perfect my craft. Over the last 9 years, I have attended lighting classes, Photoshop workshops and even “real” Wedding Workshops. Some of the workshops I have attended have brought me to New York, Maine, Utah, Kauai Hawaii, Boston, and Cuba. I am always exploring new techniques and am always in search of new and exciting locations to shoot. One of the kinds of Photography I thoroughly enjoy is shooting long exposures. As luck would have it, I had the opportunity to photograph the Milky Way for the 1st time at the Nubble Lighthouse in Maine. I was so excited to have actually captured that! My husband, Joe and I just happened to be visiting the Nubble Lighthouse earlier in the day and met two lovely ladies who were planning on returning to the Nubble at 2 am to Photograph the Milky Way. We got to talking, and they asked if I would like to join them. We were told that the Milky Way would be located directly over the Nubble. I just couldn’t say no! My journey as a Photographer has been full of exploration and experimentation. My husband, Joe, is such a great sport! He is so supportive and often joins me on my crazy adventures!! I currently shoot on location, at your home or business and am able to provide specialized lighting and backdrops/props. I specialize in Portraits/Environmental Portraits/Seniors/Families/Children, Headshots, Weddings/Destination Weddings, Cake Smashes and Event/Night Photography. I have been a proud member of the Professional Photographers of America since 2016 and I am fully insured.
