The woman behind the camera.....I am a wife, mother, NeNe and lover of Jesus. My love for photography started as a very young child when my grandmother introduced me to her Polaroid camera. I still have that camera and it is a treasure that I cherish. From there I learned to develop my own film and won first place in 4-H at district in film processing. In the past 15 years I have taken that passion and captured many beautiful moments for my clients, friends and family. I am a natural light photographer that edits to natural beauty of each moment I capture.
My education includes a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration where I have worked anywhere from retail to being a CEO of a corporation but my greatest joy has always been in photography. I have worked in the wedding industry where I owned and operated my very own full service bridal boutique where I also offered wedding coordination. My expertise in wedding coordination has helped me streamline my photography timeline to help my brides have a seamless experience when I am hired as their photographer. I started out in photography as a self-learner but knew I wanted to take my photography to the next level so I began photography classes from the New York Institute of Photography. I have taken classes from other professional photographers and worked in a professional studio learning first hand from one of the best. Each day, I find a way to learn more about what I love so that my clients can feel confident and trust that when they hire me, they are getting a professional with experience in all situations from business to photography.
I live in the beautiful Northeast Georgia mountains and enjoy all things family. Not only am I a professional photographer but I am also a writer with three published books, a blogger and a Childhood Cancer mom/advocate. I have a passion for photography and capturing moments for my clients to cherish for years to come. The creative part of me comes alive when I am behind the camera as I enjoy capturing the very essence of the person I am photographing using a different approach to photography with every photo session! I love an adventure to a waterfall, hiking to the top of a mountain or the simplicity of a beautiful open field. Your style, your vision and your time is strategically planned to capture who you are and what you love. I specialize in photographing weddings, couples, seniors, and families. I have photographed it all so I am open to photograph any special occasion or event in a persons life that they want to capture on film.
I have realized over the years with loss, how important a photograph can be because......A pictures is just a picture until a picture is all you have!
I would love to capture your memories and I GUARANTEE your satisfaction!
