ABOUT ME

A little about me: I've had a camera in my hand since the age of 5. I started Hacker Medias in 2013 with a vision from God during a leave from my full-time job at the time. I started with a small seed of faith and here we are now! Twelve years later, still capturing YOUR families moments that will last forever! <3

As a kid I flipped through my grandparents photo albums over & over. I was always amazed to see how things looked "back then" along with seeing generations of family members I would never get to meet. Memories fade but portraits and the emotions I capture last forever.

Things I do for fun:
  • I love hosting! Whether it's game night, a cookout, couple's night, whatever! I love cooking and seeing everyone have a great time! 
  • I'm an artist at heart. My creativity doesn't stop behind the lens and I've learned to transition that love into my sessions by creating custom sets. It allows me the chance to paint, create scenes, and so much more! It's definitely my peaceful place. 
  • I'm a prankster! Not in a mean way lol but I'm definitely silly so when I'm realllly comfortable around you watch your back! 
  • Travel. We spend a lot of time on the road as a family for sports and leisure and I'm thankful that we get to share all of these moment together.
