I like to live in the now with a touch of nostalgia, yet eagerly anticipate the future. It’s about embracing the present, cherishing the past, and looking forward to what’s ahead. My goal is to embody this in my style of photography - capturing the moments of today, preserving the past, and hinting at the exciting future yet to come!
behind the lens
I first discovered my love for photography way back when digital cameras were as cool as flip phones circa early 2000’s and high school yearbook classes became my creative outlet. Fast forward to today, and that same passion has become the driving force behind my eagerness to capture life’s moments, turning them into lasting memories to deliver to you.
beyond the lens
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me hanging with my husband, our goofy Goldendoodle, Theodore, and our circle of friends and family. Whether exploring the newest restaurants in our hometown of Charlotte to satisfy my foodie cravings, or unwinding at home with the next house project, I’m all about soaking up life’s simple joys and having fun along the way.
Oh and let’s talk travel - it’s my other passion. Traveling with my family early on in life and studying abroad in college not only fueled my wanderlust, but also deepened my appreciation for immersing myself in diverse cultures. Because of this, exploring beautiful landscapes and cityscapes around the world has only heightened my adoration for capturing photos through time.
Growing up, competitive sports were a defining part of my life, shaping the person I am today. I'm a proud Virginia Tech Hokie and a born-and-bred Philadelphia Eagles fan. My go-getter spirit and type-A personality have not only contributed to my development but also to my interest and skills in the photography world.
From being the designated friend and family member always handed the camera to take photos, to transforming that passion into this platform - I’m thrilled to be here, ready to collaborate with you. Let’s weave your personal style and personality into timeless photos that tell your story.
