My heart is always filled with love that my couples share, and I get to see and document the happiest day of their lives. I can't imagine having a better career, ever. I am currently based in Rochester NY but I hope to get into destination weddings eventually.HEADSHOTS If asked nicely, I do headshots for actors and musicians. My dream is to do a headshot photoshoot with someone famous. They don't have to use the pictures, I just want to be able to say to myself "I took that".MODELS I am also dabbling in model photography, this has no real benefit for me except for mastering studio lighting. I enjoy it because I get to work with awesome, passionate people. We have so much fun together!--------------------------------------------
You Are Apple Red
.. You're never one to take life too seriously, and because of it, you're a ton of fun.
And although you have a great sense of humor, you are never superficial.
Deep and caring, you do like to get to the core of people - to understand them well.
However, any probing you do is light hearted and fun, sometimes causing people to misjudge you. What Color Red Are You? --------------------------------------------Took a bartending class with my roommate... we were getting good!I love love LOVE ice skating! I've never taken lessons but I think I'm ok out there :)

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

If I don't know you, I'm not likely to want to meet you. I also won't reply to random "hi your profile's cool wanna chat" or "your tattoo is cool wanna meet my death metal band" emails. Give me something more substantial to reply to. --------------------------------------------I'd definately have lunch with Christina Aguilera, Jim Carrey, or Angelina Jolie... and Katherine Heigl - preferably at Seattle Grace Hospital :)--------------------------------------------

Music:

Diana Krall, Eva Cassidy, Josh Groban, Norah Jones, Bette Midler... although I'm more of a "favorite CD" kinda gal. I like oldies, as in - old old, 30's 40's music, especially if it still has a scratchy sound to it like it's been rerecorded from gramophone straight to CD.

Movies:

50 First Dates, 5th Element, 6th Sense, Patriot, Gladiator, Shrek, The Emperor's New Groove, The Incredibles, La vita e bella, Chicago

Television:

Desperate Housewives, Gray's Anatomy, Apprentice, Scrubs, Heroes, Weeds, Family Guy, Samantha Who

Books:

Jodi Picoult, Orson Scott Card... I learned to read before I was 4 and I haven't stopped since. I read A LOT.

Heroes:

I aspire to be a great wedding photographer like Becker or Jasmine Star or Jessica Claire, and a great entrepreneur like Gary Fong or the dude that invented Google.
