Cliff Note on ME.

Thank you for your interest in my photography. I'm so happy to tell you a little about me.

 

Back in the Day:

I grew up on Signal Mountain, Tennessee, which was an ideal place to be a carefree kid. There was a lot of tree climbing, exploring the mountain trails, and just playing outside.

My dad was the one who put the first camera into my hands when I was fifteen years old. This camera was special because it was his camera when he was in college and my parents encouraged my creativity.   I have been curious for most of my life. Exploring the world through the lens, was my playground.

The first time I developed photographs in a darkroom, I was hooked.  There was something so fascinating about watching images emerge in the developer. Oh yeah, in a darkroom, the old fashioned way, with chemicals, not photoshop. O.K. I'm telling my age now! 

 

College Years:

Initially, I attended Parson School of Art, in NYC, but had second thoughts about living in such a big city. I’m southern girl and new that I needed to make my shift back closer to home.

After I visited a childhood friend in Savannah, GA,

- I just knew!

I fell in love with the old southern charm of the historic Savannah architecture and the sway of the Spanish moss.

I studied visual arts and Art History at Savannah College of Art and Design for four fun years and received my BFA with a major in Photography.
