I am a native of the Outer Banks, I grew up in Manteo.  I’ve loved taking photos since I was a kid, when I spent most of my time outside.  Capturing that natural beauty has been my main inspiration.  I also love people’s energy and taking candid photos with real expressions.  I’ve been married to my wonderful husband for 17 years, together we have two boys, a dog, two cats, and a turtle. My family is very important to me and providing for the family while doing what I love is a dream come true.
