About
My life in photography began at a very young age. Back in the 80’s my mother began a successful wedding and photography business on the beautiful Panama City Beach. Being the second oldest of eight children, it was understood that I did my part to help provide for our family. My mother started me off with assisting her at events, which really meant toting her bags around and helping with loading/unloading supplies.
My mom used every opportunity to teach me about lighting, equipment, hand coloring images, reception setups and even sewing. Soon, she trusted me to begin second shooting events. By thirteen I had won my first major portrait competition and I was hooked! If we were not out photographing or preparing for the next event, we were out fishing. My family also has very deep roots in the charter and commercial fishing industry.
I can truly say that childhood on the gulf was truly amazing and I am so happy to be raising our crew along the same waters that I grew up on. Shortly before I completed my Masters degree in Nursing, I married the man of my dreams and we have created a beautiful life and family together. We are expecting our 6th baby this fall. Between our busy schedules, our family is most often found on the water, fishing blue water tournaments or just taking in the amazing sunsets.
