Photography has been a passion of mine since childhood. Growing up in the Smoky Mountains, I was inspired by my parents’ hard work as entrepreneurs. My dad, in particular, had a deep love for photography, and I fondly remember him spending his rare moments of free time capturing images with his Minolta film camera. Whether photographing wildlife or family moments, it was a joy to witness how much happiness those photos brought him. Occasionally, he’d let me waste a roll of film, and it was during those moments that I truly felt connected to him. That spark ignited my love for photography, a love that’s been growing ever since.

I’ve been capturing moments professionally since 2011, always striving to tell a unique story through my lens. As a Smoky Mountain native, I draw inspiration from the beauty around me, whether it’s the stunning landscapes or the connections between people. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m spending time with my wonderful family. My son, who’s ten years old, and my husband, a professional chef who’s opened restaurants across the country, are my biggest supporters.

Above all, I’m a traveler at heart. Discovering new places and cultures fuels my creativity and shapes my perspective. Every new journey brings fresh inspiration to my work, and I’m excited to bring that energy into every project I take on.
