While I stepped away from teaching to pursue photography almost sixteen years ago, I've had the opportunity to continue my teaching career by educating thousands of photographers throughout these past 16 years. From workshops and speaking engagements to courses and guides, my teacher's heart adores helping other creatives grow. The truth is, I'm just a small-town girl that built a successful business from the ground up. I know the struggles that come along with running a photography business because I've experienced them firsthand. Whether you're just starting a new creative endeavor or are a seasoned photographer, you have a friend and cheerleader in me. I will always have your back and I'm just an email away.

Photography aside, I'm a southern girl who feels like she was born in the wrong century, wife to my college sweetheart, mama to two cool adult kiddos, encourager to my fellow small business owners, and a lover of people and Jesus.

I'm prone to wanderlust- as witnessed by the 50 states and 18 countries I've been to so far and I feel so blessed that my job allowed me to capture clients around the globe.  I've now "retired" from shooting weddings, so these days you will find me photographing people and places that bring me joy, mentoring others who also have soft souls and want to pivot and slow down, taking like-minded souls to the English Countryside for creative rest retreats, spending more time at home decorating our small cottage, growing flowers, creating art and shopping at all the antique stores.
