So far, I have created a balance between home life, work-life, Photography life… which all equal up to what I consider the good life. All things that represent my own personal journey. Why Green aura as the name? Green Aura is associated with the heart chakra and describes love for yourself and others, compassion, and forgiveness. Which lead me to think, why not capture someone else’s millstones, love, achievements, birthdays, or corporate/business title changes with personal branding photos?

It took 5 years, 3 separate apprenticeships, 40-50 hr. Which I needed to figure out how to balance both. I had two small children at the time and knew I wanted to be a full-time mother and a full-time hairstylist. I started cosmetology school at 24, which seemed later than most.
