Having worked as a professional photographer for the past 12 years, I have been incredibly fortunate to capture amazing images both on assignment and on personal projects throughout the U.S. and many other countries. Photographing weddings has become a true joy of mine as it allows me to tell the story of one of life’s best days: the love, excitement, energy, emotion and pure happiness of a couple on their wedding day!

I studied journalism with an emphasis in photojournalism at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. After graduation I worked for a variety of organizations and publications including a commercial photography studio in Atlanta, as the staff photographer for the Fulton County Daily Report, a freelancer for the Australian Associated Press and continuing freelance work for various publications.

When not shooting a wedding or working on other photo assignments, you will definitely find me out hiking or camping or generally finding any excuse to be outside! I love taking fun classes and have done everything from Vietnamese and Spanish courses to pottery, horseback riding, knitting, ballet, belly dancing, yoga, oil painting…and the list goes on!

ALISON & BRET–ATLANTA ENGAGEMENT SESSION

I’ve been so excited to share this engagement session (and not just because this fantastic bride and I share the same name)! I spent the afternoon photographing Alison and Bret around the beautiful Rose Garden at Fernbank Museum as well as Agnes Scott College in Decatur. I love when a couple have known each other for so long that they exude such an incredible bond and friendship. Their love and ease with one another really shines through in every one of these photos–which makes me even more excited to photograph their wedding next Spring at the Glenn Memorial United Methodist Church at Emory University and reception at Agnes Scott College!
