I've always kind of been labeled the "artsy one". Everything from the canvas to the stage, you name it, I've probably at least tried it. Photography, however, has always had my heart as an artistic outlet. I remember even as a kid always making my baby sister get all dressed up for our numerous photo shoots in the backyard. My mom always called her my "muse"; I can't say she was wrong as she is still my go-to model and quite the ham in front of the camera.
​
I am a Florida girl born and raised in Fort Lauderdale. I made my way up to Jacksonville where I earned my BA as a UNF Osprey and fell in love with what I am now proud to call my city (A.K.A. DUUUUUUUUUUVALLLLLLLLL).
I've never been great at talking about myself, but I'm a pretty open book to anyone who asks. For now, here are a few little fun facts I could muster up.
I found the love of my life at my high school homecoming dance at age 15. We were married in 2016 and have since made our world complete with the arrivals of our sweet girl and boy. My happy places are in my backyard with the family tending to my garden that I pretend I know how to grow and basically any local Japanese restaurant. I will always have a love for Disney, Tim Burton films, Stevie Nicks, Garth Brooks, and anything mermaid related. I'm a little country, a little hippie free spirit, and a whole lot of fun (I think). I am quite literally down for just about any adventure, and as you will see at your session, I'm not afraid of a little dirt. Believer in the good things; Pisces; IPA & Tequila fan. Oh, and go Dolphins!
