North Carolina Equine, Portrait, & Wedding PhotographerIt was in the College of Design's Landscape Architecture program at NC State that I first realized I had the potential for creativity and a good eye for design. Though I am formally trained as a landscape architect, many events conspired and collided in the universe that led me down the path to become a photographer. As with many things in life, it wasn't what I had planned; but I know it is where I am supposed to be.I live in the country just east of Raleigh, NC, with my husband Wes and our adorable dog Cash. The country has always had a special place in my heart since I grew up in the Midwest and my family roots are solidly planted in the farmland of rural Illinois. While I spend my days working on my photography, playing with my dog, and going to the barn, my husband spends his riding on trains.
