I'm so happy that I have been able to give back to the Democratic Party with my talents. The latest way I got to do that is by photographing Gavin Newsom Governor Gavin Newsom's visit to the Lowcounty in Summerville.

This is definitely one for the books! Could I have just photographed the next president of the United States? Only time will tell.

Either way, it was pretty cool.

Sunrise at Hampton Park is something everyone should see 🌅

A few favorites from my recent extended family session in the beautiful (and very well kept) gardens of Hampton Park! We started the day bright and early because this little one is a morning person, and it PAID OFF.

Want your own sunrise session with me? I'd love to get some Fall bookings on my schedule!

Comment "sunrise" and I'll message you 🖤 Or, find my booking info in the comments.

We all start somewhere! This was 2022.

Many professionals say to delete your bad images. I however, keep these bad boys available so people can see how I have grown. Mainly, new photographers. We all start somewhere! This was one of my VERY first sessions, done with my very first camera, the Rebel T7, which I would recommend to anyone starting out. You will improve, and you can do this!

P.S. Your editing style will mature with you ❣️Don't invest in the "one click" pre-set packs. It's a waste of money. Find one that works, make your adjustments, and be open to feedback. Study the images of the artists who inspire you. Your goal should not be to replicate their work, though! Find your own signature style that people will learn to recognize as your own. Then, people will see you work but not your name, and they will still know you did it.

Just a little sneak peak of the maternity session I was soooooo excited to do this evening! How adorable is this big sister to be?!
