"We do not remember days, we remember moments."
—Cesare Pavese, Italian poet & novelist
Photography is a form of artistry that is raw, telling. It celebrates love, captures fleeting moments and magnifies beauty. For me, documenting the journey of life is extraordinary. I continually find myself in awe of the emotion captured by the lens and strive to push beyond the expected.
As a photographer, my goal is to reveal the beauty that exists in each of us—couples in all stages of life & love, expectant mothers & couples, mothers & newborns, children, families, high school senior portraits and professional headshots. The key to accomplishing this is making my clients feel comfortable and natural, most often in an outdoor setting.
My passion for photography began by expressing the beauty of nature and has evolved to include the interplay between natural light and my subjects to create unforgettable images. By timing the moment when composition, light and emotion combine in perfect harmony, I discover my clients’ own personal work of art. Themselves.
Location shoots are my specialty, including the little pieces of passion and joy that paint your world with happiness. Bring your guitar, skis, snowboard, horse, sailboat, farm equipment, etc.
If you connect with my style of work, please do get in touch. I’d love to hear your story and discuss how we can capture unforgettable moments together. (Selection of photos from my portfolio featured below.)

About Me
As a native of western North Carolina, I spent my formative years following in my grandfather’s footsteps in search of undiscovered ecosystems hidden in the Great Smokies. This spirit of wonder and curiosity followed me into adulthood. I studied Social Work and Women’s Studies at Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago, then dedicated a year of service to Americorps. Much later, I completed a Master of Liberal Arts degree at the University of North Carolina-Asheville. My graduate research approached the complexity of the global food system and its relationship to poverty by weaving together an investigation into sustainable community food systems with environmental, social and economic implications. Currently, I own SOFIOL Press and also serve as project coordinator for Buy Haywood. In addition to photography, I am passionate about local food and supporting sustainable agriculture. When not tending our organic French-style Potager, I still enjoy chasing the wild places from my childhood while hiking with my husband and three daughters.
