IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU
Some people call me a ball full of light that never stops moving!! I grew up in Chesapeake, Virginia with my massive family, six girls and two boys! My parents, Edward and Catherine, taught me to never give up and always reach for the highest point.
My favorite things in this world are my boys, Lorenzo and London, and perfect pup Tegan!! I can't leave out my husband and sometimes second shooter, Duke! He is everything I could have dreamed of in a soulmate. Lastly, certainly not least, my family. Growing older I've realized that my family is my backbone and biggest supporters. If it wasn't for my family helping me get started with my business, I would not be where I am today! They were my models for quite some time!
When someone asks me, "how long have you been doing this?" I have a hard time answering. My amazing, supportive parents gifted me my first camera on my 14th birthday.
Ever since, I really haven't put the camera down. Most would say, "you can't be older than 17" and when I say I'm 30 they are VERY surprised. My favorite is "young lady those cameras are bigger than you!!!" Yes, yes they are. I guess you could say I'm a petite lil thang. Anyways!! I went to school for creative advertising and thought I'd end up doing that and what do ya know, I'm now running my small wedding and portrait photography business!!! My brides and families give me life, memories and tight bonds. I've overcome a lot of personal stress and anxiety because of Photography and with help from clients. I love this wild, crazy life. I wouldn't trade this for the world!

I am lucky to have 3 beautiful kids who complete my world. They are wild and can't forget loud, but life would be dull without them. Lorenzo, is my goofy dancing boy while London is my silly boy with big big emotions. Lily, the brightest light with the
biggest smile always.

She is the furriest child you’ll ever meet and we would snuggle all day if we could! Tegan spends a lot of time perfecting her bedding and licking everything. She loves her mama and her brothers so much!!
My Dog Daughter
Anything that is neutral with greenery or just dainty and perfect with simplicity I will take all the time photographing and constantly daydream over!
Neutrals, Greens & Dainty

Strawberry and mango anything is the best but mochi icecream is the best invention since cookie dough. I can honestly say it is a pretty large obession.

MY STORY:
THE REASON WHY
I do what I do
I am the youngest of eight children and in order to be heard, I had to learn to find my own voice. I pride myself in loving the differences in people and yet acknowledging how similar our hearts are. I believe each of us has something that truly drives us and for me, that something is being surrounded by family and friendships. As a photographer, it is a privilege to capture those moments for others and to help tell the stories of individuality and relationships.
