Raised by my grandparents, I guarantee being an old soul was inherited. I'm Granddaddy's girl through and through, deeply rooted in my family, known for my calm energy, and happiest living a pretty simple life. 

Give me a chill day at home with my dogs, preferably tropical candy, and a favorite show, I'm content. I'm naturally laid-back, but always ready for a good time. 

I'm endlessly curious about art and creating. I appreciate the beauty of simple things and the meaning we give to them. I love witnessing the connection between people. And I'll always believe there is something special about a photograph you can hold onto.

I believe that's what makes what I do feel so meaningful.

Artful in what I create. Wholehearted in how I show up.

Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Before photography, there was drawing, painting, and simply the need to create. Eventually, that led me to earn my BFA in Photography, and a way of seeing that has stayed with me ever since.

Not long after, I began documenting weddings. There's so much to take in on wedding days. Thoughtful details, beautiful spaces, anticipation and celebration, and a hundred little things happening in between. I loved that no two ever felt quite the same.

The older I get, the more I realize that what we value in a photograph can change with time. The grand moments matter, of course. But the ordinary ones matter too. A familiar expression. Someone's hands resting together. The way your people filled a room.

The simplest photographs can mean everything years from now.
