I’m also an adventurous traveler, an all-round nerd, a slow hiker, a dog-lover, a hospice and Alzheimer’s volunteer.

A few of my favorite tv shows are Hacks, One Mississippi, Offspring, Atypical, Resident Alien, Top Chef, Criminal Minds, Deadloch, Goliath.

I have lived in 21 cities spread across five states:

| Georgia | Florida | Vermont  | Indiana | Mississippi |

I have photographed more than 100 weddings, a biker funeral, Ted Bundy, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.

I have documented weddings large and small, Hindu and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by a Mayan shaman.

You won’t find many wedding photographers with the education, experience and caring personality that I have … a sense of humor and humility, too.

When I'm not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, hike at Stone Mountain, work for racial justice and welcome refugees to our community.

My pronouns are she, her and hers.

Sharing with the next generation

Over the past couple of years I’ve brought on a protégé — someone I can share my skillset with and who can help shoulder some of the gear (literally and figuratively). I’ve been lucky enough to find Tyrae, a young man who’s talented, eager to learn, and genuinely tech-savvy.

I’ve benefited from a lot of privilege and opportunity over the course of my career, and as I get closer to retirement, it feels important to pass some of that forward. Working with Tyrae has been a reminder that experience and youth don’t have to compete — they can complement each other. I get to share what I’ve learned, he brings fresh perspective and energy, and in the process we both keep growing.

If you’re as nerdy as I am, you may want to look at this …
