JUST A SOUTHERN GAL WITH A LITTLE HOBBY TURNED FULL TIME DREAM JOB
JUST A SOUTHERN GAL WITH A HOBBY TURNED FULL TIME DREAM JOB
If you told me my high school hobby would turn into a full-time dream job, I wouldn’t have believed you. I hustled through college at JMU, balancing 16 credits a semester while building my business—trading football games and nights out for photographing weddings and seniors. I’m forever grateful for those early clients who trusted me, because they led me here. Beyond the photos, my heart is in creating real, genuine connections—making people feel seen, loved, beautiful, and like instant besties for life.

I'm so glad you've found my little section of this crazy internet world. I'm just a Nashville born + raised gal living in Richmond, VA. You can count on me to be your go-to gym buddy, coffee date, sunset chasing with the windows down, business chats, new bestie!

MEET CHIP
TWO OTHER KMP FAVORITES
01
Chip and I have been together since March 2021. We met in the middle of the pandemic 2020, but didn't start dating until a year later. June 20, 2022, he asked me to be his WIFE and October 29, 2022 we got married! I could not feel any more lucky or blessed to have someone like him. He's goofy and silly, sweet and kind, but also a fearless leader. Chip proudly serves our country in the Army Reserves and protects our community on the daily as a Police Officer. You might just see him on your shoot snagging some behind the scenes for me ;)
02
MEET ALFIE
Also known as, Alfredo-potato... Alfie is our child! My fur baby! And I have no shame in being a basic dog mom. Born on April 26, 2022, and came home with me on June 20th (the day we got engaged!). He is the cutest fluff you ever did see. His paws are absolutely massive like a bear, and you can't go two seconds without him nudging your hand for more pets. I'm obsessed with him and don't know how I lived life without him! You will most definitely hear me talk about him at your shoot, and if you want, because I know you do, follow him on insta! @alfie_thegoldenboyy
