About Willa

October 9, 2009

Writing a meaningful bio that truly describes who I am is proving to be harder than I thought it would be. There are so many approaches I could take! Do I make a quick list of fun facts about myself? Do I write a bunch of paragraphs about my life’s story? Do I make it professional or casual? I want it to be perfect, but I know perfect doesn’t really exist.
So, here is my attempt to convey who I am to you:
I feel very blessed to be able to say that I am truly happy and that I love my life! I have a loving family and strong support from my friends, and I am so grateful for these gifts.

I began taking pictures when I was a teenager and quickly fell in love with it. I then realized that I wanted to take my passion to the next level and become a professional photographer, and graduating from Brooks Institute of Photography fulfilled my dream!

I chose wedding photography because weddings are truly beautiful in so many ways and I feel compelled to document this beauty. At a wedding you will find true emotions, love, happiness, excitement, friendship, trust, commitment, honesty, and so many more good things, and it gives me great joy to be able to capture this day in my client’s lives through photographs that will remind them of their incredible day forever.

Here are a few random facts about me:
I love life
Super into being a mom – my girls are my word!
I believe in the power of positivity and the power of believing in one’s self
I love love
Love being reminded to love wholeheartedly at each wedding ceremony I photograph and I love photographing weddings
Love to laugh…I laugh all of the time
I’m a glass half full kind of person 99% of the time
I believe things are meant to be, so no regrets, just lessons

Thank you and blessings
