I'm your typical middle aged, young at heart friend just having a good time through life. I'm a little awkward, a little chubby, totally down to earth and moderately funny. I'm also a photographer based in Elizabethtown, KY but travel all over the country. Proud and overwhelmingly grateful to be a full time photographer since 2012.
I’m not going to tell you much about me behind the camera. I hope it’s easy to tell that I eat.sleep.breathe photography and am pretty obsessed with it! That’s really not what I’m best at anyway.
connecting with people.
With making you feel comfortable, being
unreasonable at times
and having fun.“
I’m great at making you relax, at talking, understanding, and absorbing the moment. I ‘get’ you. It doesn’t matter if we are celebrating your 1st birthday, or your 90th – I can see through the chaos and embrace what’s beautiful. And that’s you. It’s your children, your family, your environment. And I’m best at just being me, just like you are at being you.
Other things: I have two dogs, no kids, a bald husband in tow. I'm obsessed with hummingbirds, planting flowers and a good bathrobe. We spend a large portion of our time travelling, or planning our next big adventure. Thankful for a career that let's me do all the things.
I'm just looking to have a laugh out loud kind of time with you too. Let's get together, do something fun.

As I ease into my winter hiatus, I’m feeling a whole menagerie of emotions—this year was a wild ride.
I picked up a camera for the first time in late 2010, and next year marks 15 years in this self-taught, accidental career. My heart is overflowing. Thank you for inviting me into your most sacred moments—new life, new chapters, milestones, pivots, marriages, divorces, graduations—and for taking me across the country (and internationally). And thank you for trusting me with the quiet goodbyes too: parents, grandparents, children, and the pets who never stay long enough. Holding space for both joy and grief is the greatest meaning of my life. Art is love, and you are the art.
2025 humbled me. This summer my hair started falling out in patches, and I was diagnosed with autoimmune issues and a long list of health stuff. Healing mind/body/spirit meant slowing down: more rest, fewer posts, longer turnaround times, letting go of the version of me that could work endlessly. And it turns out… that’s okay. My hair is growing back, my thyroid is waking up, and I’m feeling like myself again—little by little.
In 2026 I’m moving forward differently: guided by what feels right, not obligation. No more glorifying “booked & busy.” I want to be well-rested, well-traveled, well-read—and do my best work.
Closed + quiet until early March (a few time-sensitive shoots already arranged). Otherwise, I’ll open my calendar mid–late Feb for 2026 booking.
As always: everyone is welcome here. I stand ten toes down for inclusivity, respect, and equal rights—always.

Zander rang the bell and the whole world felt it. Strength, love, and a thousand tiny victories in every piece of confetti. His perseverance lit the way, his parents held the line, and together they turned the hardest days into hope.
Moments like this are made possible by love, resilience—and the lifesaving power of childhood cancer research.
Let’s all give this amazing family a big ole’ applause, and three cheers for Zander!
