Behind the Camera

I am lifestyle and portrait photographer that wants to live in a world where the coffee is always strong, the water is calm and I can see the bottom, and international flights are less than 3 hours. I guess you could say I'm a dreamer...

After graduating in 2009 with a BFA in Fine Art Photography, I tried my hand at working at a portrait studio because I thought, hey, what am I supposed to do with this degree I just earned? I learned a ton but worked some of the longest and most stressful hours of my life there, and then I finally got "burnt out". It took me a little while to find my passion for shooting again and honestly what sparked that was my move to Charleston. I had been living along the east coast my whole life, and like most I got sick of the snow! I grew up in Maryland, got my degree in PA and even lived in the Boston area for a few years. When I finally landed in Charleston 6 years ago I knew this is where I belong, and this was where I wanted to start my business. There is just something so magical about living in a place with so much gorgeous variety. Between the Spanish Moss, the Plantations, the beaches and our French inspired architecture downtown- I'm just in love with where I live, and it makes photographing people here so much more enjoyable.  When I'm not photographing bumps, babies, or children running wild on the beach, you can find me at a local brewery, a pizza shop, a Stingrays Hockey Game or down at the Joe for a Riverdogs game with family and friends.
