I was born and raised in the DC area, where I got my first DSLR camera at 16 years old and instantly fell in love with photography. As a Division I basketball player, sports took center stage for many years, eventually leading me to Southwest Florida after college, where I met my husband. We spent a year living in Maui before the pandemic brought us back to SWFL to be closer to family. Since then, we’ve gotten married, welcomed two kids, and built a life here together. After being laid off from my corporate job and stepping into life as a stay-at-home mom, I found myself reconnecting with photography in a whole new way. What started as a creative outlet quickly became something deeply fulfilling. Photography allows me to tell meaningful stories, preserve genuine moments, and connect with people from all walks of life, which is what I love most about it.
