call me a dreamer…

I love simplicity, but I thrive in chaos, spending much of the day with my head in the clouds. I work well under pressure, and deadlines are my jam.

Born and raised in North Carolina, my love of photography started in high school with journalism classes, dark room workshops at the local arts center, and taking photos of pretty much anyone who would let me. After figuring out every possible place I could study abroad to photograph different cultures and landscapes (Kenya, Mexico, & Dominica to name a few) I graduated from Davidson College with a degree in Biology and started a career in the non-profit world. In 2012 I switched gears and started my own photography business working with families around the Queen City.

In 2014, my husband landed a job in California (and I lobbied hard for him to accept the offer), so we moved to San Francisco with a 2.5 year old, an 8 month old, and a 104lb golden retriever. We built a beautiful life together in the heart of the city, growing babies and growing businesses, until we started to feel that pull back East. And in 2019 we landed back in Charlotte, now with 3 kids in tow, and a plan to set roots and stick around for a while.

Over the years, my business has grown from family focused photography to brand imagery and interior design shots, with portraits always being my sweet spot.

I am so excited to be serving the Queen City, and I cannot wait to meet you soon! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you think we’d be a great fit…I know we will be!
