WELCOME TO SUN KISSED PORTRAITS

I am a military wife, married to my hero. I am a mother of three incredible children. I am a daughter to the hardest working man I know. I am a sister, a cousin, a friend and most importantly a servant of God! I consult Him on everything, and am amazed every time He chooses to reveal something new to me no matter how simple it may be.

I have always had an interest in photography, but it became an obsession after my son was born. I took him to the portrait studios, and was greatly dissatisfied with the generic poses we always got. Yes the pictures were cute, but they didn't even began to capture the personality that I adored and wanted to portray to my deployed husband. We counted on these portraits to help create a bond with my husband who for far too many months got to know our children through them. It was important to me that the photo starring back at him was more intimate than what I was receiving from these studios. So my mission began. Since then I have diligently perfected my photography, both artistically and technically.

Photos are how my daughter was introduced to her daddy. Photos let my husband be present at not only her birth, but also at many birthdays for our children since. Photos allowed Daddy to see the excitement in his son's face at his first airshow. Photos of the kids at Christmas allowed us to share Christmas; even while we were thousands of miles apart.Our very favorite photos, are those of us coming back together again. The ones of our family whole!

I like details. I love freckles, hence the name "Sun kissed." I love baby feet, and hand holding. I am a sucker for a thumb sucker. I love to watch a baby learn to toddle. I am crazy about tulips and look forward to them all year! I love the smell of the ocean and sound of the waves, but hate salt water. Newborns melt my heart, and I marvel at the way pregnant woman glow. I cry at the mention of our military, and I am VERY proud to be an American.

Why am I sharing all of this with you? So that you understand that when you choose me as your photographer I am not just taking pictures for you, I am capturing your memories. I want to see your son in his favorite shirt, no matter how worn it is. I want you to get your daughter to giggle so I can capture her crinkling her nose. You don't have to have a deployed spouse to appreciate precious memories. I'm not going to take your average posed pictures, I'm not going to try recreate another persons work. I am going to capture your family, in their element. I want your portraits to reflect your family, your moment and your memories!

WELCOME TO SUN KISSED PORTRAITS, I can't wait to get to know you!

When we REALLY want something, and we perceive God's answer as no we are disappointed. When we ask again, and again it doesn't go our way... we can get discouraged. We are taught as Christians to pray for God's Will. When we do that, and things happen in His perfect time we are blessed bigger than we could ever imagine! Here is living proof! All this couple wanted was one baby, look at what they got instead...
