The Artist & Vision<\/strong>
Rooted in a deep appreciation for classical aesthetics, my creative focus spans both the physical canvas and the digital frame. \u2028\u2028

Raised on a small North Carolina farm, my artistic journey began in childhood. It eventually led me to train in traditional Photography through the New York Institute of Photography at 20, and then earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art with a concentration in Painting from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.

Following university, I established my independent creative studio, launching a professional photography career that now spans over seventeen years, with published<\/a> work across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and California in a wide range of photography.


\u2028Regional Availability<\/strong>
Based in the Yadkin Valley of NC, I shoot weddings, brand\/marketing\/social media photography, fashion, portraits and editorial photography locally and statewide.
Main regional travel locations include Winston-Salem, Huntersville, Mooresville, Lake Norman, the Greater Charlotte area, and the coastal expanses of Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach, NC.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
