Photography tells a story, inviting the viewer to relate to its subject and bring about a serendipitous connection.
Writing allows you to bring what is deep within to light, giving it tangible form and expression.

Photography and writing have been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. Often I see an image and words begin to follow…

I previously worked as a professional children’s photographer with Lifetouch Preschool Portraits which led me to freelancing for over 17 years.

As a freelance writer, I have published several articles online, managed a blog and was a published co-author of a book collaboration with several other authors.

I’m a nature girl at heart, it’s what inspires me and it’s where I feel the most at home.

I was born in SW Florida, I have spent most of my life traveling, embracing different cultures & traditions and searching for truth & beauty with a camera and a journal. I have lived in Florida, Pennsylvania, California, Tennessee, South Carolina and am recently married to my best friend & husband Logan now residing back in SW Florida.

I prefer to capture life through a lens and a pen in its pure state. You don’t need a filter if you know how to take in and see the beauty of your subject for who they truly are. Live simple, be intentional and stay close to God and His creation and you will always be connected to the source of truth, peace & joy.

I’m a portrait, real estate & commercial photographer who specializes in seeing Gods original design in my subjects— authentic, beautiful & valuable.
