My name means Crooked Stream, and over the years, that has been a treasure to me. I have realized that I am crooked, and the LORD is the straight path that I desperately desire to follow. It magnifies His greatness, not mine. Even down to the verse that I tag right along with Crooked Stream Photography shows His love and care for every detail: "There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God..." Psalm 46:4 It is my prayer, with all of my heart: to make glad the city of God...

And that means even with photography.

Ever since I was extremely young I've had a deep love and appreciation for the beauty of life. I loved capturing once in a lifetime moments in every way I could. I loved listening to every story about "the good old days" told by my heroes like Dad, Grandma June or Great Grandpa Ellis. I didn't pack around my first camera at age 11 because I thought it was a cool fad or made me money. It was just an instrument to capture the stories I loved so much. As a timid, shy 11 year old- I never set out to BE a photographer, I never decided that I'd specialize in weddings, and I NEVER dreamed of working in front of hundreds of people. But I loved those moments and people so much that when I was asked to shoot my first wedding at age 15, I knew deep down that I'd do whatever it takes to capture those memories.

That's how it all began.

Three years later I'm still packing around a camera, I'm still working with hundreds of people each year, and I'm still loving it.
I want to keep it that way. I'm not out to grow a business or become rich and famous.
I'm on a mission to use my God-given time, talents, and abilities to grow His kingdom and glorify His name.

If you're looking for a photographer to capture those once in a lifetime moments, find a photographer who fits your style.
If Crooked Stream doesn't, I'll help you find someone who will.
Because after the flowers wilt and the music fades...
The photos are what you'll want to pull out to re-live those good old days.
