The Basics:

• I was born, and raised, in Sterling, Colorado on a farm

• I was raised in the church, but didn't really follow Christ in college.  However, I returned whole heartedly after meeting Russel.

• I'm a stay at home mom of 3 children, 2 of which are twins.  This is my ultimate, and first calling from God.  Although I love photography, and show excellence in every session, I strive to keep my family at a higher priority.

• My children are hilarious.

• My husband is a rock star... not literally, but in my world.

• Since I was a child I have been behind a camera.  I worked at a studio through high school learning the ins and outs of lighting, positioning and several other things.  I will always be grateful to Kathy and Vicki for allowing me to apprentice under them!

• I opened my business because of the multitude of people who told me I need to take pictures professionally after seeing images of my firstborn.  Finally, when she was 8 months old I couldn't print at local printing places without a print release form, so I opened ALDP in April of 2011.

• I have a heart for teachers, military and those in ministry. (They even get a discount!  Ask me about it.)
