I have always had a passion for photography. I love being able to help people preserve memories and capture moments so that their stories aren't lost with time. That passion led me to study photography at Troy University, where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Photography. While there, I had the opportunity to gain experience in a broad range of photographic specialties, from black-and-white to product photography and portraiture.

My style emphasizes simplicity. I feel that certain methods and gimmicks commonly seen today tend to get in the way of a subject's natural beauty. I feel that it's much more elegant and effective to let the image speak for itself, and I try to ensure that the client's personality shows through, rather than the photographer's. For me, it's about the person in front of the camera, not the person behind!

While trends come and go, it's my hope that this simplicity and classic sensibility will enable the images to stand the test of time. I care deeply about my work! I feel called to this profession, and I truly enjoy getting to know my clients and their preferences.

If you have any questions, or would like to contact me I would LOVE to hear from you and help in any way I can!
