Life & Career Milestones

I've taken a lot of twists and turns

  • 1.

    My passion for music.

  • 2.

    Then my deep appreciation for capturing life as it happens.

  • 3.

    From there, I found people to be so fascinating. I wanted to hear their stories.

  • 4.

    So, I picked up a camera and started talking to musicians.

  • 5.

    Both the ability to tell a story with a camera and to listen to others tell their story has led me...

  • 6.

    ...To where I am today.

Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Family:

    There's no money in it. How will you pay your bills? And at other times the noise was silence and it still is today many times. I will tell a family member about a client I just got or how I am being sent to cover something and they will say nothing.

  • How I responded:

    Faith. Honestly. My faith and stubborn independence that life is meant to be lived. I look at life this way, it is a Willie Wonka Candy Store! So many flavours to try and why not? Life is sweet and I deserve to experience what I have been given so richly.

  • Still working on this one. I sold almost everything we had off. Quit my 6-8 at night office job when I decided life was too short and went back into this business I love- photography and journalism in the music industry.
