I have loved photography since I was a little girl, with a 110 camera and at the age of 11 my father gave me my first SLR camera, that I still have. A Canon AE-1, a film camera .
One of my first jobs was at Wolf Camera in Atlanta and then worked at a Georgia Photographics, a company that specialized in taking photos for local high school's sporting events. I was also a wedding photographer, and photographer for Nantahala Outdoors.
I am the mother of six, and often wore them on my back as I was photographing high school sports, weddings, births, newborns and more.
My photography has been published worldwide,The Huffington Post, New Beginnings (La Leche League International ) , The Sisters Of Life, The Compleat Mother, Mothering Magazine, Atlanta Dog Jog Calendar and many other print magazines. Locally I have been a featured photographer for the St Augustine Lighthouse and Panache ( an Aveda Salon)
I am a proud member of IAPBP International Association of Professional Birth Photographers & Breastfeeding Photographers and PPA Professional Photographers Association. I also hold a certificate of training by the renowned Ana Brandt as a TAoPaN The Art of Pregnancy and Newborn photographer.
I am a certified DONA Birth Doula, so you can feel comfortable knowing I am very experienced in various birth situations. Respecting the sacredness of labor and birth while I capture your blessed day with my camera. I have over 25 plus years experience in photography and birth.
I am a professional Digital + film photographer serving Daytona, St Augustine, Jacksonville, and all surrounding locations in Florida and south Georgia (travel fee may apply) . I specialize in pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and family events including First Communions, Baptisms, Confirmations and weddings.
You will find me often at the beach photographing surfers too!
I offer a natural, lifestyle, and documentary approach, however I also offer portraiture and posed approached. Depending on your individual preferences. I do not fit into a specific mould. I shoot it all!
Life is precious...it's worth capturing. Photography preserves memories. Photography gives you a way to share your story of life for future generations. Allow me to capture these times for your story.
