Originally from Wilson, NC, I attended UNC Chapel Hill and now happily call New Bern, NC home. I have always wanted to live by the water so having two rivers and a historic downtown filled with beautiful homes and restaurants at my fingertips is a dream come true. I have two long haired dachshunds, two orange cats, and a talented husband. 

I have always been creative and have explored different mediums throughout the years, but after working closely with several photographers, and art directing and styling, I decided to take the leap and dive into photography in 2020. It has been an incredible honor to connect with old friends, make new ones, and share the world from my perspective.
