My Story

 

Black and white photo of hunters waiting in a camouflaged duck blind.

 

I’m so thankful to have grown up in the hunting world. It’s given me some of the most special memories of my life, and I truly couldn’t thank my dad enough for all the moments we've shared in the outdoors. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have the love and passion for hunting photography that I do today. I actually started modeling when I was 12 and, for the longest time, I thought being in front of the camera was where I was meant to be. But that changed about two years ago when my dad took me on a duck hunting trip he plans every year for his buddies.


EVERY TIME I CAPTURED A COOL MOMENT, MY SMILE GOT BIGGER, AND IT WASN’T JUST ME WHO NOTICED. THE PEOPLE AROUND ME SAW IT IN MY EYES, TOO. I HAD FINALLY FOUND WHAT MADE MY HEART LIGHT UP. I HAVE SUCH A DEEP LOVE FOR THIS INDUSTRY, AND AS A WOMAN IN THIS FIELD, I WANT YOUNGER GIRLS TO KNOW THAT THE ONES BEHIND THE CAMERA, GETTING WAIST DEEP IN THE SWAMP, CHASING LIGHT, AND CAPTURING RAW, POWERFUL MOMENTS, AREN’T ALWAYS JUST GUYS. THERE’S SPACE HERE FOR US TOO. I’M PROUD TO BE PART OF IT, AND I CARRY THAT PRIDE WITH A GRATEFUL HEART.

My Goal

 

My goal as a photographer is to capture moments that people can feel. I want every photo to bring back the emotions, laughter, and love from that exact time. Whether it’s a family, a couple, or someone just being themselves, I want my photos to tell their story in a way that feels real and lasting.

"I seriously cannot say enough good things about her and her photography. She did a branding shoot for me and made the entire experience so fun, comfortable, and effortless. She helped me with posing, made me feel so confident, and truly brought my vision to life. Every photo turned out better than I could’ve imagined, she captured my personality perfectly. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, creative, and just genuinely the sweetest person ever, she is your girl!!!"
