MY Story
“My passion for photography turned into my profession …”
I got my first break in 2012 when I was hired on as a Staff Photographer of the J.I. Messenger newspaper here in Charleston, South Carolina. I then went on exploring new opportunities throughout the area and my business just took off. Perfecting my craft became easy in a town with such beautiful landscapes and beautiful people.
Since that time, my photographs have appeared in a wide variety of local & national publications and media outlets including The Charleston Post & Courier, USA Today, Newsweek, Travel & Leisure, the Charleston City Paper, and Charleston Magazine.
My work has received a number of commendations. I've won the top prize in Magnolia Gardens’ photo contest in both 2014 and 2015. Additionally, I took home Best in Show in the 2015 Coastal Carolina Fair’s photo contest, First Place in Charleston Magazine’s 2015 annual photography contest, and was named a finalist as the best photographer to “follow” in the 2016 Charleston Social Media Day awards ceremony.
My main photographic focus has been to capture the simple, iconic beauty of the S.C. Low country in its purest form. In both my landscape photography and in my now extensive wedding portfolio, I utilize my unique and artistic eye for detail to create compelling images that capture life lived well.
