Capturing Life's Most Precious Moments
Timeless portrait photography celebrating families, love stories, and milestones across Middle Tennessee

ABOUT ME
I've been photographing families, weddings, and milestones since 2013. After over a decade behind the camera, I'm no longer accepting new portrait clients - but my passion for helping others with photography hasn't stopped.
Browse my portfolio below to see the work I'm most proud of from my years as a portrait photographer.
These days, I teach non-photographers ("non-togs") - such as small business owners, Etsy sellers, busy entrepreneurs - how to take confident, professional-quality photos without becoming photographers.
PORTFOLIO
Family
Family photography is about capturing the connections, laughter, and fleeting moments that define your story. From cozy close-knit sessions to outdoor adventures, these images celebrate the beauty of your everyday life together.
Little Ones
From the magic of their first days to the wonder of watching them grow, these sessions capture the tiny hands, curious eyes, and pure love that make parenthood one of life's greatest blessings. These are the fleeting details you'll treasure forever.
Seniors
Senior year is a fleeting window between childhood and the wide-open future ahead. These sessions capture the personality, dreams, and accomplishments of young adults on the edge of something big - a moment as delicate and powerful as life itself, preserved forever.
Love Stories
From the joy of saying "yes" to the magic of your wedding day, these images celebrate your love story at every milestone. Whether capturing the anticipation of engagement or the meaningful moments as you say your vows, these are the memories you'll treasure forever.
