Spinning my carryon instead of spiraling about everything on my shot list.

New York Fashion Week starts this week — I’m photographing on the runway and I could not be more ready.

Hoping this new carryon by is everything it claims to be. After all it will be carrying my livelihood (my camera equipment) I’ll keep y’ll posted.

Well, I did it! 😬 I actually launched my first podcast interview. EEEEK!

I finally got a chance to sit down with my first “ Woman to Watch” from my photo project “ 26 Women to Watch in 2026” Jo Carpenter!

Jo is the owner and operator of Smoky Mountain Cabins in Townsend Tn. She was such a joy to sit and chat with, and find out a little more about her business.

I have to admit, I was a little nervous and felt out of my element with this one… Talk about imposter syndrome 🫣.

But it was so fun, and I think I might get the hang of this gig!

Just bear with me as I learn how to navigate this new genre of social media.

… this is it. My sweet niece, walking into her forever with her bouquet held high.

I didn’t just capture a wedding — I captured my own family’s love story.

This is the one I’ll be showing people for the rest of my life.
