About
Welcome to my artistic journey!
I spent my first 45 years watching my mother create beautiful oil paintings of landscapes and flowers, while she quietly planted a love of art in me. I discovered my passion for capturing the world through a lens in 2009 while spending the next ten years photographing my daughters playing fast pitch softball. Since then, my love for photography has blossomed, leading me to explore the enchanting realm of macro photography in nature.
One of my favorite pastimes is uncovering captivating perspectives and revealing hidden details that often go unnoticed. I find joy in showcasing the extraordinary in the ordinary, challenging viewers to see the world a little differently. It is through my lens that I invite you to join me in this exploration of beauty, intricacy, and the often-overlooked wonders that surround us.
I’m a native of Georgia and have resided in Marietta for the majority of my life. During annual family visits to Big Canoe in North Georgia, I enjoy daily nature walks, immersing myself in the vibrant tapestry of flora and fauna. From delicate petals to intricate patterns, there is an endless array of visual treasures awaiting discovery—all it takes is a moment of pause and a shift in perspective.
