I am a destination film photographer, passionate to the core and wanderlust at heart, seeking adventure & authentic connections.
As a young girl growing up on a farm in small town NC, I desired to explore the world and see new things. My upbringing taught me a lot about hard work, slow living, developing tough skin and working with my hands.
After spending most of my life studying everything horticulture [plants, design, flowers, landscapes & architecture], I picked up a camera and fell in love with photography. A discovery of film cameras led to my new passion of light, colors & documenting stories. It challenged me to slow down and be intentional in preserving time.
I believe we all have a purpose. Building strong relationships with clients and using my gifts to capture and create a space to share their story is mine. Life is all about navigating through the journey, seeing possibility, being vulnerable and loving each other with grace. Photography is my creative outlet, helping me unveil the beauty in nature and people. I seek to document a pureness of raw emotion that is unique to each story.
Our connection will lead to a beautiful understanding of your uniqueness. I’ll be your guide every step of the way, helping you navigate this exciting time in your journey as we discover your honest story.
