Photography has been in my life ever since I was a child when I ran around with a Polaroid camera thinking I was doing big things with instant photos.

​

I've always loved seeing how someone else sees the world in an image they've captured, and to become part of that world professionally is thrilling and fulfilling for me.

​

I started off with a point-and-shoot Fuji camera taking photos of New Orleans' fantastic urban life and wound up showing them in The Fielding Gallery in downtown Covington. The gallery has since closed, but I remember being terrified of having someone ask me what camera I used to take these views. That's when I came to the realization that you can do great things with little beginnings. No one had to know I had taken these photos with a cheap camera to appreciate them. Never let fear of someone else's judgement cripple your creativity or talent!

I take every opportunity that is meaningful to me and my work to expand my talents and explore new techniques!
