My defining moment on the pathway to becoming a photographer occurred in the mid 70's when I was a curious 10 year old watching our house in Texas being photographed by Architectural Digest.

Having a successful designer for a father helped to train my eye at an early age. But it wasn't until I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Psychology degree and back-packed through Southeast Asia with a camera around my neck that I got addicted to photography.

My love of shooting landed me in a photography program at the Southeastern Center for the Arts in Atlanta where I specialized in Architecture (although travel/documentary photography remains a passion to this day). After graduating, I moved to NYC where I assisted fashion shooters and learned what I didn't want to do.

My real launch came when I was offered a staff job shooting homes and gardens for Southern Living magazine out of Birmingham, AL. After four years there, honing my skills and garnering design contacts throughout the south, I set-up a freelance business in Atlanta. Shooting for a wide variety of magazines and books, designers and architects, as well as Ballard Design catalog kept a single girl very busy for five years.

Marriage brought me to Denver in 2001, where I now happily, yet carefully, juggle two kids with my career. I continue to be visually inspired by the beauty of the West and am content to lay deep roots here.

My work has appeared in the following publications: Elle Decor, Veranda,
Metropolitan Home, House & Garden, Traditional Home , Luxe Interiors, Southern Accents, Interior Design, Coastal Living, Better Homes & Gardens magazines , Southern Living, Country Home, Renovation Style, Colorado Homes & Lifestyles and over a dozen books.
