PUBLISHED WORK

Being a photographer in Jacksonville Florida for the last 15 years  has been the most epic journey.  I've met the most incredible souls.  Watched couples marry.  Watched people start families, have babies.  It's been a joy to be a part of so many chapters with them.  It's also been incredibly amazing to be published along the way.  As a creative, we have to vulnerably put ourselves out there for the world to judge.  That sounds silly, but it's truth.  Striving to get a certain image or tell a story with a collection, it's from our point of view and our creative eye.  And creatively editing it all and hoping people accept it and see it as how you hoped.  It's...scary at times for sure.  I find the more authentic I am with my creativity and the more freedom my clients allow, the happier we all are.   And I'm so beyond grateful to have been photographing as a career for so long.  I'm daily reminded of how happy my life is largely in part because I get to wake up each day and LOVE what I do!  So to all past clients, THANK YOU!  You've made the journey perfectly beautiful.  And for future clients, I'm so excited for our time together once it arrives! 

I'm so incredibly lucky to have been featured on blogs and magazine print through the years.  

I've also won various "couple's choice" awards from The Knot, WeddingWire, and Void's #1 in the 904.
