A Southern Revival

Coming back to Georgia has been a tornado of excitement, joy, and just enough nerves to keep things interesting. The move to Atlanta was sudden, but it feels right and I am more than ready to dive into new creative projects in my old stomping grounds.

Over the last five years in Denver, my goals and my style have evolved. From branding to boudoir, I chased dream shoots and sharpened my skills. I turned the Rocky Mountians into backdrops for bold landscapes, I planned, shots, and modeled for a full-on regional catalog. I shared confidence-building tips with women stepping in front of the lens for the first time. And now, I’m ready for more.

I’m brewing up some new creative visions:

Southern Gothic Siren. Small Town Glory. The wild, worn beauty of the Appalachian South.

My camera is ready to get to work.

But this next chapter isn’t just about making great art - its about building a real connection. I want to grow my creative circle here in Atlanta. I want to meet the weirdos, the wild ones, the artists and rebels chasing beauty in every dusty, humid corner. I miss my Denver people already, so I’m setting the intention to build something just as magical here. This blog is a way of sharing my journey, offer my advice, and show the process of being an artist in real time - the wins, the losses and everything in between.

 

I’m also throwing the studio doors open: I’m now booking sessions all across the South, especially in Atlanta. If you’ve got a vision - or need help crafting one - I would love to bring it to life with you.

I’m aiming to apply to the art fairs I admired as a Kid. to pitch y my prints to the coffee shops where I used to study. To explore the nooks and crannies of the South and capture her beauty like so many artists who came before me.
