The story behind the lens

Portrait of a Photographer

I believe that presence is powerful, it tells your story before you ever speak a word.

I began my photography venture in Jacksonville, Florida, in 2009, capturing weddings and friends’ portraits. In 2010, I moved to Jacksonville, North Carolina, where I adapted to the unique Camp LeJeune community and expanded my work to maternity, newborns, and toddlers.

In 2015, I opened a brick-and-mortar studio and maternity and nursing clothing store in collaboration with a few incredible women who became my best friends as we built our businesses together. We established The Nest Maternity Boutique, which included my newborn photography studio, a lactation consultant, a birth and postpartum doula, and an acupuncturist — truly a one-stop shop for new moms. During this time, I collaborated with other women-owned businesses, which is where I discovered my love for headshots and branding photography, and the crucial role presence plays in professional and personal identity.

In 2019, I moved to Summerville, South Carolina, and shifted my focus to helping professionals and businesses tell their story through refined, intentional imagery. My work blends classic composition with an approachable, authentic feel, because your session should reflect the real you, not just a pose.

Each session is a collaboration built on trust, artistry, and attention to detail, ensuring that how you show up in front of the camera feels as authentic as how you show up in life.

On a personal note...

I’ve been married forever (we have a July 4th anniversary and never miss a good fireworks celebration). Together, we’re raising five really cool kids, two grown and off doing their own thing, and three still at home keeping life full of sports, clubs, and non-stop noise. We’ve got a dog who thinks she’s responsible for waking everyone up in the morning, and we love geocaching, long walks anywhere, and hunting for the quirkiest treasures in antique shops. Life is busy, loud, and endlessly fun, and I bring that same energy and honesty to every session I shoot. When I say, “Don’t worry about it, I can multi-task,” I am not exaggerating.
