About Me

The woods of East TN have shaped the way I see for as long as I can remember. These quiet landscapes offer space to slow down and listen, and to reconnect with emotion and memory. Photography became part of my life during the stillness of the COVID-19 lockdown, when silence settled over Chattanooga. What began as a fun distraction turned into a way of rediscovering the land, my own rhythms, and the stories tucked inside ordinary moments.

Much of my work now follows a sense of curiosity along familiar paths. I return often, watching the seasons shift and translating what I find into images that feel honest. This work is both personal and ecological. It invites a slower way of seeing - one that honors the fragility of the natural world and our place within it. These moments invite a pause, and maybe a chance for others to reflect on their own connection to place.

Please read my environmental statement, and sign up for my newsletter to stay in the loop.
