“Photography is the art of noticing—less about the image itself, and more about the feeling that remains long after.”

Behind the Lens


With more than a decade behind the camera and years spent in front of it as a model, I understand what it means to feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely yourself in a photograph. My approach is relaxed and intuitive, with just enough guidance to let real connection unfold naturally.


As a mother of four with a background in education, I bring patience, warmth, and a deep understanding of family dynamics to every session. I’m especially thoughtful when photographing children, giving them room to be themselves rather than asking them to perform.


Outside of photography, I’m happiest tending to my garden, practicing Pilates, caring for animals, and spending time at home in Nashville with my family and our rescued pets. Much of what inspires my work begins there—in the beauty of ordinary life, meaningful connection, and the people we love most.


I’d be honored to create something lasting with you.
