I believe in creating work that’s authentic. My photographs are vibrant, intimate, and taken with an editorial approach.

I absolutely love my work, I am a high-energy person and deeply motivated. At the end of the day, I’m a storyteller and that’s exactly how I approach each and every wedding day, commercial shoot or family session. I’m not afraid to fall in love with my clients and don’t take one second for granted when they invite me into their lives to document their family’s history.

I photograph each job honestly, creatively, and in the most beautiful way possible. Shooting with a fine art approach comes natural to me after being classically trained in art school. There, I learned about composition, light, tone, and color. My images are artful, full of heart and soul, and my editing style is classic and timeless.

My clients always tell me that the people in my photographs look so comfortable and natural and it’s just the biggest compliment! I strive to make everyone feel at ease so that they can be themselves. This really shines through in the end results. I love wedding details, capturing behind the scenes, candids, and of course, the monumental moments. I know where to stand and when to stay out of the way. It’s my job to guide you through portraits (I know this part can seem somewhat scary!) and I promise you won’t even notice I’m there most of the time during the ceremony and reception.

I was born in England and moved to the States where I met my husband, Bryan, while working at the Biltmore Estate. We live in Asheville in a farmhouse that we built together with our 3 children and our pups #fierclylovingfinleyandkitt. My studio is also here and I love that I get to work so close to home.

I am a free spirit and am constantly planning the next big adventure. I’m inspired by love, relationships, and living in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  As a wife and parent, I understand the importance of family more deeply than ever before. It brings me so much joy to capture this on film and to share these treasures with my clients. I truly have the best job in the world!
