My interest in photography started in college - I took my first photo course and I was hooked. I would spend hours and hours in the...rkroom and I would immerse myself in the art. After college, I continued photography as a hobby, and friends who were getting married asked me if I would take some extra photos at their wedding because they knew I was a hobbyist. These same friends started coming back to me and were happier with my photos than with their hired photographer. Eclectic Images was begun.
In addition to photography, I have a background in graphic design which I employ with my album and postcard designs. I have been shooting weddings for almost 9 years and I LOVE my job. I have been published nationally in The Knot Magazine, regionally for many years running in The Knot Real Weddings Texas, and I have been awarded editors choice for the Best of the Knot for two years running.
I live in Austin with my husband Mike and my two Boston Terriers, Linus and Moo. In my spare time, I love to travel and do travel photography, decorate my home and shop for mid century modern furnishings and accessories, and read.Read More
