About me
I am a multi-genre photographer with a journey and passion for photography spanning over 13 years pushing everyday with self-determination and creative spirit. Completely self-taught, I've delved into multiple genres within the realm of commercial and fine art photography, earning recognition through my certification from the Professional Photographers of America and my Master's degree in Photography from the esteemed Savannah College of Art and Design.
My story didn't start in the world of photography; I proudly served my country in the United States Army. As a mother of two, I've mastered the art of balancing my personal and professional responsibilities, all while keeping the flame of creativity burning bright. It hasn’t been easy, but here I am.
I took my first steps into the photography world in the commercial industry, specializing in portraits. From capturing the essence of familial bonds to the beauty of maternity and the excitement of senior milestones, I found my footing and quickly gained a reputation for my photography.
However, it's nature that truly speaks to my soul. The tranquility and inspiration I find in natural landscapes led me to dedicate my spare moments to nature and landscape photography. Through my lens, I aim to unveil the intricate details and unforeseen beauty of the world around me, along with anything else that inspires me.
After receiving a Master's degree in Photography, which I earned in 2022, I reached a pivotal moment in my career. I made the bold decision to step away from my portrait business and redirect my focus solely toward my personal body of work. My dreams of showcasing my creations in esteemed galleries and publishing a photography book now guide my artistic journey.
Beyond photography, I am an avid reader, constantly finding joy in the world of literature. My love for cats, passion for coffee, and deep-rooted connection to the great outdoors further shape who I am. Nature isn't just my photographic backdrop; it's where I find solace, reflection, and boundless creativity.
Amid a world where creativity often follows a predictable path, I stand as a testament to forging an authentic way. With over a decade of experience, a diverse skill set, and an unbreakable passion, I continue to capture the world's beauty through my lens while charting a unique course toward my aspirations without branding myself to one thing.
