I love to hike and wander around finding caves, waterfalls, overlooks and more. I’m a history nerd with a huge wanderlust and a passion for anything from the past. I love my friends, I do everything I can to help them always. I love to travel to new places. I play music too loud always (yes I will be jamming out on the way to meet you). Coffee shops and cocktail bars are like home. One on one conversations of value are glorious. I will pick up cool rocks when I find them.

I’m pretty chill and pretty introverted by nature but I hype up with an extrovert in company (Autism and ADHD gives me the gift of gab and info-dumping). Awesome people fuel me and my energy. Watching couples in love makes my heart sing. I have all the dorky mom energy to fuel us during our adventures. We will laugh a lot, we will have a super awesome conversation at some point, and we will find some epic views to dance around in and enjoy.

As a child, I was raised by a single mother with an extreme wanderlust. Who didn’t blink or think twice when the opportunity arose to drive to Canada multiple times, or New Mexico, or even Kentucky, Luckily even then, I always carried a camera on me.

My journey with photography started formally in 2009 when I would capture bands in poorly lit venues. In 2010 I attended a college level summer art program art the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and learned how to use my new DSLR; as well as getting certified for various Adobe programs at the time. I also spent my summer hanging out at the local camera shop every weekend, learning all that I could.

Throughout the journey I wandered into wedding and lifestyle portraiture. I went to college for photographic arts and small business entrepreneurship at Frostburg State. I always knew what I wanted to do, but how to do it. So spending far too many years in college studying all of the things including wandering into Philosophy classes and falling in love. At the same time I worked a ton of various jobs in the service industry and marketing, while running my business, being a full time student, and restoring my 1950’s MCM Rancher.

I graduated in 2018 from Frostburg State University, where I studied Business Administration, Philosophy, Graphic Design, and Photography. Then I took my business full time the following December. Now I am here full time capturing memories, making art, and traveling wherever to do so.
