I wish I had known how to properly use my camera. It took me so long to figure out that Manual (M on the dial) was where I needed to be and then another long time to figure out how to shoot in manual.

CANON! I love Canon. I don't have a camera bag. I use a Pelican Vault but I carry these lenses: Sigma 35mm ART 1.4; Canon 24-70mm 2.8L; and Canon 50mm 1.2.

I use these camera bodies: Canon r6 Mirrorless, Canon EOR R, and the Canon 5ds.

For a regular session, I carry mosquito spray, blankets, extra shoes, towels, hand sanitizer, props if needed, and Benadryl.

I have special kit for weddings that includes tons of odds and ends and "just in case" items.

I like to think that my images are natural with dark tones. I don't like the film look. I like sharp, grain-free images. I can do a mix of photo journalistic and posed. I like to give my clients prompts and ask silly questions to inspire a natural, genuine reaction.

I love anything with a woodsy look. Locally, my favorite locations are Reelfoot Lake, Paw Paw's creek in Obion County, downtown Dyersburg and the abandoned bridge near Obion.

I also love the creeks and hills of middle TN. There are so many gorgeous spots.

Downtown Memphis always feels like home and it's one of my all-time favorite places for a photo session. I also love Kentucky: Murray and Paducah are stunning and there is a flower farm in Mayfield that will blow you away.

I enjoy time with my boyfriend or my family and friends. I like true crime, crime shows like NCIS, online shopping, TikTok, and hanging around outside. I also love shopping for my house at thrift shops and dollar stores.
