About

Hi, I’m Josie the artist, photographer, mom, sister, daughter, friend and the owner of Captured Event Photography LLC.

My first camera was a Minolta 201 (metal body) at the age of 15. I had to have it!  I spent many of my junior high and high school days in the art department and photo lab where I learned to develop and print my own images. As cliche as it sounds, I knew my calling from a very young age.

I lived in Europe for a few years and I concentrated on digital paintings of the Austrian Alps. I had a one women show, by invitation only that ran for 6 months. My second of two solo exhibitions. “Colorful Ausseerland” marked the start of the Austrian County Fair. The Steirermark County Foto Club invited me to be an honory member and  invited me to participate in other exhibitions. One show ran half a year in the Town Hall of Bad Aussee, Austria. My contribution:  3 digital paintings of the Twin Towers in NYC.

Once back in the US, I followed my long time desire to capture wedding memories for couples getting married. I love documenting real life and love  through story telling with my images.

I am very passionate about everything I love; I love capturing heartfelt memories for people.
