About Me
Photography has been my constant companion since high school. As I've passed through the various life phases, cities, jobs, and interests we all do, photography has remained the perfect outlet for blending my passion for people, travel, and creativity.
I studied fine art photography at the Savannah College of Art and Design and spent nearly a decade shooting weddings, portraits, and events in the
Savannah and Hilton Head area. A pull toward the wider world
eventually sent me back to school and then overseas:
graduate degrees in journalism and Middle Eastern and
North African studies, independent documentary work in
Oman and Cyprus, podcast and video production, and
ultimately a decade covering national news and politics was
closed out as Senior Producer for Politics at USA TODAY.
The same curiosity and empathy that drove me toward
journalism guides how I show up for life's meaningful moments, in my own and in others'.
A genuine regard for experience, an appreciation for bearing witness to once-in-a-lifetime events, and compassion for how others experience their own lives still drives me, and that's
what I bring to weddings, portraits, and events. Along with, I'm told, an indefatigable level of energy.
All this is to say that as a person, I am enthusiastic and adaptable. I can get my teacher voice out if I need to wrangle your wedding party, or bring a gentle touch to get a nervous flower girl giggling.
I've been all around the world, witnessed and taken part in all manner of traditions, events, news stories, and private, personal moments.
If I've learned anything, it's that the moments that stay with us are as unique and precious as they are universal. It's my passion for our shared humanity and the deliciousness of the poignant, fleeting experiences that make up our wild and precious lives that drives me, and I'd be honored to share yours with you.
