Although I'm a proud North Carolina native, a southern girl born and bred, I have come to recognize myself more as a citizen of the world than of a certain region. The combination of my Native American heritage, traveling as a missionary in Africa, and the many roads in between have inspired and formed me. All of these have helped to instill the passion of creativity, and the recognition that all inspiration is breathed by the Creator. As an artist and photographer, I have always been dedicated to the pursuit of creative expression and the freedom that lies within it. When I have the opportunity to photograph someone, be it their wedding, their first child, a simple portrait, or something completely new and different, I am honored to partner with them as we create something beautiful and authentic. There are many different ideas and philosophies when it comes to photography. Mine is simple. Catch the truth, and preserve the moment. Although I am happy to do formal shots, my specialty is a photo-journalistic style which paints a true and unique painting of the hearts of the people in it. As "a picture is worth a thousand words", my joy is capturing the threads of priceless moments that weave together to tell the story of life, unaltered and without unnecessary manipulation. Perhaps one day, I'll be able to help tell part of your story. If you have questions about prices, scheduling, or anything else, please always feel free to email me at liveartstudios@yahoo.com.
