What I Believe

1

To be seen takes a tremendous amount of vulnerability. If you're willing to show up as you are, I know you won't be disappointed. You're your very own, one-of-a-kind, custom work of art.

you're a masterpiece

In an age where images can be artificially generated, the process of creating art is more important than ever. It's an immersive experience that gets your mind and body in a flow state; that kind of presence is priceless.

I provide photography services based in creative partnership; this means you'll be involved in a lot of the aesthetic choices for your session to ensure we capture you authentically.

The most powerful images aren't posts, they're prints! Work made with this level of intention must exist in our three dimensional world. Get the art off your screen and in your hands.

MY JOURNEY

2002 | The Starting Point

Armed with my first 35mm camera and Photoshop 1.0 I dove into photography as a high schooler when my pottery teacher discovered there was a darkroom across the hall.

2004 | BUILDING EXPERIENCE

I was 18 years old and landed my first job as a photographer: at Glamour Shots. Greedily, I studied magazines to learn lighting and poses for the hundreds of clients I photographed at the Mall of Georgia studio. I looked like I was 14 but I was quickly outshooting my middle aged coworkers.

2010 | GRADUATE COLLEGE

I started my college studies in photography, but later switched to French and Ballroom Dance so I could graduate faster. My French degree has an emphasis in cinema and photography, and I still refer to dance training for posing and creating lines with the human body.

2014 | GOING SOLO

This was the last time I would work as a photographer for another studio. At this point I was confident enough in my experience to start freelancing, and create the kind of portrait work that makes my soul happiest.

2026 | The Artist's photographer

Today I focus on portraiture, boudoir, and branding photography. These are the genres where I have the very most to offer my client co-creators who are my MUSES.
