PASSIONATE, CREATIVE, PERSONAL
My passion is creating art throughout images. When I was ten, I got my first camera. It wasn't anything fancy, especially for today's technology, but I fell in love with capturing memory after memory. I grew up extremely close to my family in a small town with less than 1,000 people. I had four other siblings and grew up eating dinner at my grandparents' table every evening.
I had my son my freshman year of high school and from that moment forward I decided that I would take every step possible to make sure that he had the best possible life I could provide for him.
Throughout high school I was in multiple Honors and AP classes and always strived for honor roll. I was lead photographer for yearbook and president of Skills USA, and won several awards throughout East Tennessee for my photography and cosmetology during my high school career. All of this while working full time at a local fast food chain. My senior year, I was an extra in three feature films and two television shows, a music video, a model in numerous runway shows, a few magazines and even a covergirl. This is when I realized that this was an industry I wanted to spend the rest of my life in.
After graduating a semester early, I went to cosmetology school and was licensed before I was 19. During my education, I got to work on set for a few local television shows and magazine productions, as well as internationally published photoshoots as a hair and makeup artist. I was always one of the younger artists on the sets, but I was dedicated to learn and got hands on experience from professionals from all over the country.
I had fantastic support from my family, and without them I would have never had the opportunities that I've been so fortunate to have.
Fast forward today and I have my own two son's and a fantastic partner who supports me in every aspect I could ask for. We have three huge lap dogs (two pyrenees, one husky) who are spoiled to their snouts. They are my drive every single day to become the absolute best version of myself that I can be. I'm always listening, learning, and growing.
Specializing in portraits and high-end photo retouching, I make sure every photo is held to the highest of standards and focus on every detail. Published in multiple photography blogs and magazines, I am always striving to bring your photos to the next level.
Although I started my professional career in front of the camera, I fell in love with the dedication and knowledge that goes into making each image.
I truly believe that everyone has the potential to become "model material", even if they may not be able to see that for themselves yet. I've had years of education perfecting posing for all body types, helping pick out the latest fashion while staying timeless, and most importantly creating images tailored to each individual.
I can't wait to see what we create together.
