art is seeing beauty everywhere & in every soul
My Philosophy
Documentary & Fine Art Photography
A bit about me.
I was born in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida & grew up trying to balance wanting to be Cody from "Surfs Up" but also Hermione from Harry Potter... A good blend of laid back beach vibes and ambitious nerd if you will. I come from a family of ten & am a middle child, so I enjoy people but am not used to the spotlight! My family is big on outdoor activities and games, & my friends will tell you I'm the first to whip out a deck of cards at a bar.
In 2018, I picked up photography as an avenue for studying architecture, but not long after, someone asked me to photograph their wedding... & I immediately fell in love. I've been in business going on 8 years now, & I don't think I'll ever stop!
Right now, I live in Charleston, SC where I am finishing up my JD at Charleston School of Law. On the weekends, I either work at a local bar, travel for weddings, or try and get outside!
Imagine you're in a movie...
NATURAL, JOYFUL STORYTELLING
What sets me apart: Direction
Everyone feels awkward in front of a camera. If you're in agreement, just know that I feel the exact same way. Someone points a camera at me - I start making faces, my posture changes. Who knows what's going on! I consistently find that what sets me apart as a photographer is my direction. Direction means that when it comes to "posing," I will give you something to do: a way to move or an interaction, like a movie scene. Direction is like a dialogue; we will talk back and forth and I will encourage moments during our session through actions and conversation. You will always have something to do or a conversation prompt: think of it as if I am your host on a fun date... or a romcom film director and you're the main characters!
