About
I have been a professional photographer since 2007 and have had the opportunity to work in many different areas of photography ranging from weddings, seniors, families, headshots, corporate events, celebrities, commercial, lifestyle, food, and more. With my wide background in different aspects of the industry, my students will have the unique opportunity to learn what interests them the most.
I enjoy storytelling. Getting to know as much about my clients before and during our session helps me to capture who they are at this moment in time. I love getting people comfortable in front of the camera and making the experience as painless as possible.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When working with students it is essential to first know their background with photography and what knowledge they already possess. From there we will begin building a solid foundation of photography knowledge and getting comfortable with using your camera without automatic settings. We will then proceed to learn how to use and manipulate natural light. After these essential skills are mastered then we move on to off-camera flash photography.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been a photographer since 2007 and have spent countless hours learning my craft through self-learning and being mentored by some of the top photographers in the industry. I have a degree in art education and have a passion for teaching. I have taught photography courses at a local college and have taught workshops all around the United States.
How did you get started teaching?
My college degree is in Art Education and my love for photography naturally integrated with my degree.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students at all skill levels from beginner to professional.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently did a commercial photoshoot for Smoothie King and had the opportunity to photography Olympic Gold Medalist Gabby Douglas.
