About Me

I am a small town girl by choice. I enjoy life as it happens and seeing the details, most pass through. I live hard, love hard, and play like there is no tomorrow. Photography fits me perfectly. I am a sucker for an adventure, especially if it ends at the waters edge. Life is beautiful and I create imagery of our lives to convey emotion and connections that can be felt by those in the image and felt by the viewer. We all have a purpose and I do believe mine is to adore the moments we won't get to have back but can relive in photos.  Let me get started telling your story, the real life sorta thing.

I wrote about the obvious choice of being a nurse to help people. My Senior English teacher, Lydia Grimes, asked me what I "really wanted to do". I was taken back by her question but deep down knew she could read right through me. I told her "I want to be a photographer" She told me then write about that, go be that! You are meant to help people but not in a nurse way, something else calls you. My heart and destiny has been fulfilled and capturing life and all the love is where I am meant to be! ​
When I was 7 I started my own garden outside our apartment building, specifically bean sprouts. I was so proud of my little growing plants that I wanted to start photographing thier growth. I asked my mom for a camera and she gave me a disposable camera. She often developed my images so I could save them in an album. That is when I started to capture growth and appreciate the simplist of life. That is when I fell in love with a camera.
