Her photos have been featured in Words, Beats and Life's website and she photographs for many local area stand-up comedians. She has worked with Lifetouch Portraits and Lifetouch Sports. During her time with Lifetouch, she was known for her patience and creativity in getting children to cooperate with posing, while delivering genuine smiles. She was hand-selected to photograph students with special needs and succeeded in sincerely capturing a joyful portrait that many parents praised her for.
