Behind the Lens
So a little blurb about this chick behind the lens...
Just a little fun note about me...
1. At 11 years old, my start in photography was one of substance and integrity. I was as an elf at the mall that rocked a bright green velvet elf dress and some kick ass elf shoes. Now try to get that visual out of your mind. I photographed all the kiddos with a Polaroid camera setup that was roughly the size of my Chrysler Town & Country.
2. I am the mother of a Marine.
3. I have three boys. Occasionally, with my sweet husband, who is my best friend, It turns into four Children...Mainly while they are playing Call of Duty or Airsoft.
4. I love dogs. I will probably greet your pet first. Sorry, I love furry, lovable slobber boxes. .
5. If you see me actually running, you better take off because the zombie apocalypse is upon us and we are all about to die. you have been warned. .
6. I love cookie dough......and watching Snapped. Don't judge me.
7. I'm addicted to coffee and dry shampoo. They are LIFE.
8. In my mind I often refer to my sister, Jess and my Mom, Pat as "Balls and Backbone." .
9. I randomly rub soft, furry things in stores......yes, I have texture issues.....it takes me to my introverted happy place.
10. I have a slight Pinterest addiction. I'm thinking about starting Pinterest Anonymous. It'll be fun. We'll have t-shirts.
The pro stuff so y'all know I mean business:
I am a nationally Certified Professional Photographer and have been in business since 2005. I currently specialize in high school senior photography. In 2019, I was named as one of 128 in the overall Silver Medalists and one of nine in the Wedding Category nationally with the Professional Photographers of America Print Competition announced at Imaging USA 2020. Being a member of the Professional Photographers of North Carolina has given me the opportunity to serve on the Board, earn Associate Fellowship and Fellowship degrees as well as being awarded The President's Award and First Place as well as Honorable Mention Weddings for print competition. I was fortunate to work with Whitney Thore of My Big Fat Fabulous Life, was published in In Touch Magazine in 2015 and appeared on an episode in Season 2 to showcase body positivity during a photoshoot. My forte is lighting. I love using multiple facets of lighting in my imagery and love brainstorming ideas with my clients to create one of a kind photography.
As of 2023, I specialize in High School Photography and after over 15 years in the wedding industry, I photographed my final wedding clients in 2019.
Thanks to my friend Ashley Cox Photography for my headshots. Y'all don't expect me to show up to your session looking like this!
