I won’t bore you all too much…but just a little about me….

I began my photography journey about 18 years ago, as a single mom with two small girls and a hand-me down camera. I was too broke to purchase the school picture packages so I would take my girls out and do the pictures myself.

Friends and family started asking me to photograph their families…and so it began. Some of you know that I used to have a photography business and studio a few years ago. Well, life happens, and things don’t always work out like you had planned….sometimes they end up better. I’m in a much better place in my life and I am able to devote the time and energy to grow my business again. What was once known as “About to Snap Photography” will now be Fresh Slate Photography! I am starting over and starting Fresh!! So let’s create some memories!!

Fresh Slate Photography is committed to capturing life’s treasured moments with a blend of flair, finesse and fun. Our distinctive approach to photography stems from our unwavering passion to make each photo more than just an image. We aim to create a narrative that resonates with emotive clarity ensuring your photos reflect your personality and style.
