Every name has a story to be told......

When creating the name for my photography business, I knew I wanted to make it meaningful, and from the heart.

Watching my Dad growing up, and seeing how dedicated he was to our family, and to making sure we never went without was so inspiring to me, and that is something that has always stuck with me. If there wasn't a job available, he designed one. He owned and operated many different companies growing up, always having the name Wizard in them (he was a magician in a past lifetime as well.)

The name was meaningful to him, and represented a big part of his life, and he brought that into his companies.. I always thought that was so cool growing up.

I knew I wanted to be as hard-working, and dedicated to my passion, and family as he always was growing up. We were so alike in so many ways, so of course I would want to open up my own business too.

After he passed away, I knew this could be something I could do for him, and bring him with me through my journey, even if he can't physically be here to cheer me on anymore.

My Mom and I always thought he was reincarnated into a Cardinal, we would see them around everywhere after he passed. So I knew, that needed to be in the name.

Cardinal Portraits was created to help me capture your Families memories. To stop time and live in that moment, in that emotion, forever. When they are gone, those photographs will be all you have left of your loved ones, and I know more than anyone how important those photographs are to you, once they are gone.
