The process of photography engrosses me from start to finish. I love the spark of recognition that ignites my soul and compels my finger to press the shutter. I am captivated by emotion -whether subtle or profound- vibrant color, light, and the many small nuances of each environment and subject I encounter.

I have been shooting for the past 8 years but feel that I have been a photographer my entire life, trying always to isolate the particular beauty in a moment, place, gesture or relationship. It is with continual awe and respect for the opportunity to communicate visually that drives my photography forward.

I studied Journalism with an emphasis in photojournalism at the University of Georgia’s renowned Grady College. After graduation I worked for the Marietta Daily Journal and Atlanta Journal Constitution over a period of five years before accepting wedding, portrait, and editorial commissions full time.
