As a Fayetteville, Arkansas native with deep roots in this community, photography has been a cherished part of my life since childhood. My extensive career of over 16 years as a professional model truly ignited my passion for being behind the camera. This unique journey in front of the lens has taken me all over the United States for modeling work, including participation in intensive modeling training camps and the invaluable experience of walking alongside some of the industry's top models. These opportunities have provided me with an in-depth understanding of the photography industry, the vital feeling of being truly heard and understood by your photographer, and the importance of creating a safe and comfortable space to express yourself. Being a proud mom to a wonderful girl and a lively little boy further enriches my perspective and empathy. I know firsthand the power of a photographer who makes you feel seen, and I bring that knowledge and experience, gained from both sides of the camera and across the country, to every session, especially when helping others begin their own journey in the industry.
