Load up the first roll with me for my 35mm Film Photography at Emerald Hollow Mine in 2026, got some real shots today 👀

Shooting phase is going to take a while so if you could try to be patient with me film takes a long time to develop but we all might learn something from a new perspective.

Emerald Hollow Mine has inspired me to attach this camera to my chest everyday this year. The goal is to capture grounded, real life, and historical moments on tangible film. It's going to be a good one so this might take a while... but thats analog film photography for you 😉

I love when photoshoots force me to explore and now I've been in WNC in every season 😊🍂

I love this trend because it shows for anyone a single desicion you make really can have such a lasting impact on the trajectory of your life and you not even know it at the time.

I'm so appreciative for the choices that led my husband, Campbell, and I to in Hiddenite, NC. Last minute of our honeymoon in April 2023 we decided to make a detour on the way home to Wilmington to take our chance at rockhounding here. We completely fell in love with the place even though we found nothing in the digsite, we knew we'd have to come back to try again with more time. 💚

2 years later and we got Campbell started working here in the sluiceway. Wasn't long before he got to bragging about my photography and how I could possibly be some help for the mine. 🩷

I've never been more grateful for my BFA in Documentary Photography from but really to myself for putting in that time, work, and management of anxieties/fear. Choosing to have enough faith in myself when I knew there'd be struggles. I refused to buckled under the pressure to change my major to graphic design/ marketing. 4 years after graduating and I can say I'm proud of that decision.

I love architectural photography and I love documentary photography, I hope to showcase both my inspirations with intention and care. Excited for the future!

Emerald Hollow Mine native find limelight: Tourmaline and Red Rutile matrix dug from the earth by Richard Edley on July 30, 2025.

Tourmaline is a silicate mineral, while Rutile is a titanium dioxide mineral that appears more needle like in inclusions of quartz. The heart-shaped Rutile has a redish color due to iron impurities and its unique crystal structure ❤️

Richard was a miner and prospector in Southern California for 30 years and was the person to discover emeralds in Southern California. It was an honor to have these be my first shots documenting a native find from Emerald Hollow Mine!
