About Me
For as long as I can remember I was the girl with the camera, capturing every family event. Sitting in the stadium, cheering for my sister and capturing her achievements. I have had a passion for photography, still live and people all my life. I am probably one the biggest dreamers I know, but I don't regret being who I am....
I have never been one to rant about myself and even when I am asked, I could never find the right words to describe myself.... But who I want to be.... Well, that is easy!
Who I want to be is something completely different...
I would love to be remembered as the one who gave it all! The person who was there for others, even when I couldn't have been there for myself. The one that placed their feelings and needs before my own. I would like to be known as the person that gave it all for my husband and my son.
A woman who loves God and everything I learn and teach about Him. I want to be known as the non-judgemental person with little hang up's in life. I want to be known as the one who lived every second of my life to the max without regrets, without fear of what other people may think.....
Without holding back!
I have finally turned my dreams into my passion and my full time job in 2012 when I started my company - Purple Frog Photography. I have grown so much during the years, and have had the best experiences with the most amazing people. I graduated from various establishments and received my B.A and various diploma's in 2016 from Shaw Academy and VSP.
