In my dreams, I travel the world and wake up in new and exciting places each day, and me and my camera arrive for the most perfect sunrise just in time to take the most breathtaking photograph. I have been blessed to be able to travel the US with my husband in our RV, and photograph some awesome places, like Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Grand Tetons, Colorado Rocky Mountains, Utah, Washington, Oregon and California, and to now call The Smoky Mountains area of Tennessee my home. My photography is my career, and my career is my life. I could not ask for a better career, or a better life, and I have learned to be grateful for every moment that I am able to capture with my camera.
I have been a professional photographer for over 20 years now, but I have had a camera in my hand for most of my life. On any given day you may find me out in The Smoky Mountains or in my own basement shooting stock photos for Shutterstock, Getty, Adobe Stock. Or I may be out chasing birds in my own backyard, up in The Smoky Mountains capturing a great sunrise, or travelling in my RV with my husband off to our next adventure, with my camera by my side. We have been blessed to have seen some magical places and to have met some amazing people along the way, and we cannot wait to continue the journey for many years to come. I hope you enjoy my photographs as much as I have enjoyed taking them.
