About Me
I believe in celebrating life's moments - from the big to the small. That's why I started Oh Snap Indy. What began as taking photos at football games for my sons and their friends has grown into a family-ran photography and video business.
I specialize in sports photography, family photography, senior photos and event photography in the Indianapolis and surrounding area. I work hard to customize every photo shoot to my client's needs. For me, the experience is just as important as the final product.
On a personal level, I'm a proud graduate of Indiana University and Bishop Chatard High School. I am a former journalist who now works as a marketing director and runs Oh Snap Indy. Storytelling - whether words, video or photography - is my passion.
How it Started
A few years ago, my kids were playing youth football in the inner city in Indianapolis. There was a lack of community involvement. When we played against teams from affluent areas they always had a photographer and our kids were bummed we didn't. So I bought a cheap camera and started taking their pics. The kids loved seeing their big moments captured.
That's how Oh Snap Indy started. I wanted to help kids & families - regardless of income or status - see the beauty that is within them. Social media has contributed to a lot of self-doubt in kids. I like to use it and my photography to show them how amazing they are.
My friends call what I do Photo Advocacy. All of my pictures tell a story. My captions help drive home an important lesson or thought. When I do senior photos, I work on building self-esteem. My business is photography, but at the same time it’s about positivity and self-love.
Now, I help mentor young aspiring photographers. It's not uncommon to see me at a football game with multiple apprentices with me. I want to help them all achieve their dreams.
