Photography has been a part of my life since I was a young girl.  Camera in hand, I was taking pictures of anyone and anything in sight. That was before digital! In High School, I became a senior rep for a local photographer and ended up working for him.  Upon graduation, I invested in my first SLR camera. To really grasp what was behind my camera, I enrolled in a photography class at Des Moines Area Community College.  In addition to learning the technical aspects of photography, I experienced hands-on developing and printing.  I moved on to obtain my bachelors degree in Family and Consumer Sciences from Iowa State University.  Soon after, I found myself back in the photography arena working for another photographer.  This time I was behind the camera, shooting weddings.  Little did the bride and groom know, I enjoyed their wedding as much as they did!!  Since that time, my interest and skill in photography has continued to evolve and with my family's support in 2007, I decided to form Imaging Rox!  I am currently a member of the Professional Photographers of Iowa.  My services are primarily natural light photography, but I enjoy dabbling in the digital lab as well. This gives me the opportunity to create specialized layouts to preserve your memories for years to come.
