For as long as I can remember, horses and photography have been at the heart of who I am. Growing up in Georgia, I spent countless hours in the barn with my horses—my favorite place in the world. My love for photography began when I first picked up a camera to capture moments of my horse and dog. Little did I know, that was the start of my photography career!
When my children were born, I wanted to document every stage of their lives, knowing how fast those precious moments would pass. I was right—it went by in a flash! That’s when my passion for photography evolved into a business. I still find it hard to believe I’ve been doing this for 20 years now! Time truly flies.
I cherish every moment with my children and their spouses (still waiting patiently for those grandkids!). When I’m not photographing families in Clarksville, you’ll find me riding horses or relaxing at home with my Miniature Australian Shepherd, curled up under a cozy blanket.
