I have a picture of me from when I was maybe 9 months old cutting my teeth on a box of film. Photography was always a part of my life growing up, but thanks to my well meaning mom I spent most of my time in front of the lens rather than behind it. Since then I have made the leap from (reluctant) model to shooter and now it's full steam ahead.

I live in the Sandhills area of North Carolina with my husband, two adorable dogs, and one incredibly mischievous cat. The fur babies in my life definitely keep things interesting.

I try to always choose the hard right over the easy wrong. I believe that even though bad things happen in this life there is so much good - so much joy - in the world that it is our responsibility to seek it out, remember it, share it, and - if necessary - help create it for anyone we can. I have been a member of the Junior League of Moore County for almost five years, and I am always looking for ways to give back to those around me.

I am a glass half full sort of person. I choose to see people's eccentricities as endearing (mine are that I often refer to myself as the royal "we" - there's a mouse in my pocket I swear! - I start a lot of sentences with "so", and I tend to over use the word "that". Plus I occasionally slip into a Fargo accent - I grew up in Iowa, I can't help it). Life is all about what you make it so why would you ever choose to make it anything other than great?

I love meeting new people so feel free to fill out the CONTACT section of my website and introduce yourself. I look forward to meeting you!
