I'm a 30 something year old creative portrait photographer specializing in Newborn, Birth, Maternity & Family Photography. As a Nashville Native and a proud Southerner, we at CMP believe in the 3 Gs of the South, Guns, God and Biscuits and Gravy. 

   My interest and pursuit into Photography came with the dawn on the Golden Myspace Era, coupled with several hours of Pokemon SNAP. Back then, you couldn’t just take photos as a hobby, it became a required skill set you needed in order to survive. A bad profile photo meant you might not end up on your besties top 8!!! As you can imagine, this was rather problematic if you were unphotogenic or awkward in front of the camera. The Rawr face and mustache fingers only got you so far. 

   Being incredibly uncomfortable in front of the camera, in addition to, at the time, being one little Debbie away from type 2 diabetes, trying to take a good self portrait was a struggle and a major confidence killer. Though my suffering was great, once I learned how to make myself look semi passable, I swore to use my new found superpower for good and to help others like me.

But they had to pay….

All jokes aside, as someone who absolutely hates being photographed, I really do pride myself in creating a fun and relaxing environment for everyone involved in the session. I help with posing, give you fun prompts and strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible during your session, ensuring you look as beautiful as you truly are and giving you back photos you’d be proud to display in home and online!!! 

 I am definitely not the photographer to tell you to ‘Look into each others eyes and tell them the most special memory you two have together’, so if you’re looking for lovey dovey, it ain’t me. I’m the photographer that tells you a horrible Dad joke to get you to laugh (or a NSFW joke depending on how cool you are) and than criticizes you for how you looked while laughing and makes you do it again!!!

   I started primarily shooting friends in all the most dramatic and abandoned places in Nashville during my High School years (It’s amazing I didn’t end up on Dateline). As I've grown in experience & age, my work broadened to fit the established clientele I quickly gravitated towards Milestone Sessions such as Maternity Photography and Newborn Photoshoot as my clientele grew with me.  I fell in love with the unpredictable & have been shooting weddings & families and children for over a decade. I now spend photo sessions trying to chase after toddlers, making an absolute fool out of myself for the smallest of smiles from your baby,

I have a deep love for Classic Disney movies, Cottage Core & all things Chic. I always try to pull some type of inspiration from them, whether it be the vibrance of color in my images, the fairy tale esc locations, or the giddy feeling you get when you look back at your images.
I'm also a huge horror movie fan & love the dark and spooky. This lethal combination means I’m able to accommodate any style you throw at me!
I never sit still, because the moment I do I fall asleep. I spend most of my time working, but in my little down time I love to bake all types of sweets and pamper my husband (yes I’m that girl.) I’m trying to get my own dateline episode as often as I drive out to the middle of no where, in a never ending quest to find the perfect locations! I'm constantly working with my hands, creating new items and sets for my sessions & I'm always exploring thrift stores trying to find things to spruce up my life & add to my collection of props!
As an advocate and enforcer of TNR, I currently have five fur babies, almost all of them failed fosters. The most I’ve ever had is 10. Fix your damn animals.
