I believe life is so much richer when you take a moment to notice all the natural beauty that surrounds you, every day. The thing I love most about photography is that it allows me to preserve these beautiful moments forever. Capturing the perfect curves of a mother-to-be, the love of a newborn baby, watching children grow over months and years, seeing families evolve from generation to generation, and finding a stunning landscape to create a truly magical image - these are the things about being a photographer that make my heart content.
As an infant I was adopted by the most incredible parents I could have imagined. Durham is my hometown, but Charlotte has been my home for over 10 years. I have been an artist all my life and painting was a big part of my childhood. I learned the basics of photography in high school, but my passion for digital art developed while studying at Wake Forest University.
In 2002 I graduated with a Bachelors in Communications and pursued a successful career in advertising sales for AT&T, but it came at the expense of taking time from family and friends. In 2008 my world came crashing down when my father passed away unexpectedly. He was my role model and the biggest supporter of my artwork.
Today I try to remind myself to live every day as if it may be my last, to do what you love!! and surround yourself with the people who are most important in your life. <3
I am excited to be your photographer, and to watch your family grow in years to come!
Cheers~
