"We are making photographs to understand what our life means to us."
-Ralph Hattersley
Hi! You're here!
A little bit about me...
Q: How long have you been taking photos?
A: About ten years. I first picked up a camera while working at Cannon School, a JrK-12 private school outside Charlotte. I am a writer by background and was hired to do the marketing, but quickly learned that I loved telling visual stories through photography as well. A happy accident!
Q: Where are you located?
A: I live in Davidson, North Carolina and shoot in Lake Norman, Concord, and the Charlotte area.
Q: What do you love most about photography?
A: Capturing joy! Making subjects feel comfortable and relaxed results in real, authentic moments that can be treasured forever. At heart, I am a storyteller, and being able to capture genuine emotion and love that can be revisited gives me a sense of purpose.
Q: Who do you love to photograph?
A: My family! But I'll be honest, my two daughters, age 21 & 18, are far more cooperative subjects than my husband.
Q: What do you shoot with?
A: A Sony A7. A photog colleague convinced me to switch from a Canon. Life. Changing.
Q: What do you love?
A: Writing, reading, and all things creative. Morning lattes. Cold Sancerre. Time with friends and people who stir my soul. Brunch with my daughters, Greek takeout with my husband. I believe that if you work hard and you are kind, amazing things will happen.
