Hi!

I’m so glad you dropped by!

I am a mom to three teens, two dogs, and five chickens, married to my college crush, and still wondering what I want to be when I grow up. I am a part-time seminarian and a photographer in Durham, NC where I gravitate toward families and persons who quickly become friends. My eyes are always tracking the light, both within and without. I think you will notice that in the images I create. After all, “Art is the material form of hope {see quote below}.” I believe that with all my heart. Let’s make art together, shall we? You can reach me below or just ask to be added to my newsletter email list.

“Where does art come from? Like so many of the very best things in this world, its roots spread through emptiness and brokenness. Art begins when someone recognizes that things are not as they should be. Whether we speak of poems or paintings or places {or photos}, all art acknowledges an absence and dreams of something other, something more. Art is the material form of hope.”
