In 2005, I began my career as a full time freelance photographer + entrepreneurial educator/mentor in the industry. Getting to know others so intimately through the nature of my work helped affirm how curious I am about what motivates individuals and societies to think and act the way they do. I am now into my Junior year studying Sociology + Philosophy at APUS and will continue on to graduate school. Currently transitioning into the unknown with pen and paper always in hand.

Always acting with 'the bigger picture' in mind helps us consciously exist as part of the greater whole; we are more than just individuals, we are a part of an Infinite Universe! We radiate energy and intersect with energy at all times. This is a journey.

Sydney and Max in Savannah, GA

A recent introduction to the admirable photo/video superhero Joshua Branstetter offered me a chance to step into his world and to observe how he exists (and works) in it. Here, we teamed up to photograph this lovely couple — Sydney and Max — who made my first Savannah, GA wedding experience one to remember. It was the first time in many years that I felt at least 50% nervous on the job, mainly because I didn’t want to interfere with Josh’s flow (even though he invited me to assist him for the day). I managed to snag a few images, but Josh and his clients get all the credit for them – thank you
