because of my social anxiety. Having fun and making you laugh is one of my favorite parts of what I do. I love creating those memories and moments you can look back on and remember this time in your life. Those little details you don't ever want to forget. Whether you have children, just a couple or your wedding day, I will capture everything your heart desires. I want to make your experience just that easy and unforgettable.
You will see throughout my website, I will have some of my favorite TV shows and movies quoted. Why, you may ask!? Well, honestly, that is me in a nutshell. I love all things geeky. I first and foremost live for all things Star Wars and Harry Potter. Ten all the way, baby! I also love a bit of everything especially Parks and Rec (Ron and Leslie anyone?), the Office, Doctor Who, the Crown, Call the Midwife, Supernatural and FRIENDS. I can be super awkward at first
so glad you are here! seriously!

"Before the shoot we would discuss my wants and needs, which she worked hard to achieve exactly that. Every time I got my portfolio back I was amazed."
Allison Banks is one of a kind! She didn't just capture a beautiful picture, she captured memories and our personalities!"
Even though we are home now, living in Washington, I live for having new experiences! Being a military wife, we have gotten to go all over! One of my favorite places was Alaska. Yes, Alaska. The 360 view of the mountains, glaciers, wild-life are all one of a kind. Can't forget the Northern Lights! Experiencing so much gives me the experience to serve y'all better! I learn new things everywhere I go, so I can help be the best photographer I can be. I love traveling, seeing new places, being inspired by YOU! Be Leslie Knope. Be INSPIRED by everything around you.
be the leslie knope of whatever you do!
I know I stated a bit above about my love for all things nerd, but I will delve a bit more into that here! My husband and I collect things...I will admit that we collect Star Wars Legos that are not to be touched. I also have Harry Potter and the FRIENDS Lego. I also collect anything FRIENDS such as trinkets, we have the yellow frame on our front door, mugs, etc. One of my nerdiest things I think is my Dwight Schrute Pop Funko collection! I have them all! We also have other small collections of Pops such as Ron Swanson, original Boba, the Child/Mando, and John Wick's. I got David Tennant's autograph on my TEN Funko when I went to GalaxyCon. Yeah, I'm cool!
"you know nerd culture is mainstream now"
No cute quote for this one. This one is self explanatory! I have 3 boys that make me a mom. My oldest is 12, Riley. He's the most coordinated out of them and plays sports so well. Logan, 10, is my artist, my amazing weirdo. The way his mind woks is mind blowing. He's 100% out of the box. I can't believe it. Then, there is my 6 year old, Keegan. He is the fire out of all 3. That is what Keegan literally (said in Rob Lowes voice) means, little fire. There is no slowing him down. I wouldn't be me without them. They are the one of the inspirations for my name, Aim True. I love arrows and their meaning of keep going forward. If you see 3 arrows anywhere in my brand, it is because of the 3 of them!
Oh look that is them! Pic cred Brittany Tucker Photography

Yes, this is a little tidbit about my husband and I. I can honestly say he was brought to me by God when I was at my darkest days. He helped bring me back into the light and I am so grateful that it's been 16 years since I met him. 15 years, y'all! We can be 100% silly with each other, make fun of each other, but still have the serious moments a couple needs. Our love of Star Wars, Parks and Rec and the Office, along with a few other shows says so much about us. Remember those Lego's I was talking about? Yeah, we collect them together. When he gets out of the Army after 20 years, we will need a whole room just for all our collectibles and other trinkets!

"I like you and i love you"
"i love you. i know"
I'll start off by saying this, I was going to go with a FRIENDS quote because, why not. But, this quote from Gilmore Girls, just seemed right. Rory also states, "Ugh, I need a taco". Lets be serious for a moment, tacos are life. Tacos and mac n cheese! I am a huge mac n cheese connoisseur. If that was a real job, that would be ME! I have recently fallen in love with IPA's, but still love me some wine! I also love cake (cheesecake is #1). My NUMBER ONE all time food, ok not healthy food, is s'mores. Any and all kinds. Original, drinks, cakes, YOU NAME IT, I will get it. I also need to tip my hat to coffee. It's my lifeline in the mornings.
