I’m so glad you’re here! I’m a Gatlinburg based photographer who’s completely obsessed with capturing connection. The kind of connection that makes people laugh, makes their hearts swell, and shows them exactly who they are. My goal is to help you feel comfortable in front of the camera so your photos show the real, perfectly imperfect, and beautiful you.
I think of myself as a passionate and positive, half-glass-full type of person. I truly believe the way we treat people matters, and I love speaking life into others by encouraging them. Life can feel heavy sometimes, but I try to bring light with my personality. I think that shows in my bright, natural light photography style as well.

Unforgettable Moments
& Timeless Images
I was always fascinated with polaroids, disposable cameras and family photo albums growing up, so when I got my first “big girl job” out of college, I bought a DSLR camera in 2014. Truthfully, I just wanted to take fun photos of family and friends at special occasions, but I immediately fell in love with photography!
I spent every spare moment researching and taking photos. Within six months I was capturing my first client and I documented my first wedding a few months after that.
From that point on, I treated photography as a second full-time job, photographing families in the evenings after work and grinding through the weekends capturing events.
I never planned on being photographer and I certainly didn’t believe I could be a full-time entrepreneur.
But here we are today…and I could not be more grateful.
When I’m not photographing, you’ll probably find me soaking in every moment with my amazing husband, Dexter. He’s a Park Ranger in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, so we spend a lot of time hiking, camping, or just enjoying peaceful moments in nature. The Smoky Mountains aren’t just my home, they’re my happy place, and photographing here is a dream come true.

I’m originally from the Midwest, just outside of Kansas City, MO
Gardening has become one of my favorite ways to decompress. I grow flowers, herbs, and produce in my backyard. There’s something so rewarding about watching things grow!
Before going full-time with photography in 2022, I had a serious career in foster care as a program coordinator at a group home for teenage boys. Helping and encouraging people has always been my heart.
COZY is definitely my vibe at home. Give me fuzzy pajamas, a yummy candle, a good book or hours of gaming on my Nintendo Switch, and I’m in my happy place.
I’m an INFJ personality type.

If you’re looking for a photographer who will not just take pictures, but really see you, your story, and the connections that matter most, I’d love to meet you.
