Thank you for being here!

Ever crave the calm of a forest trail, where sunlight filters through leaves? Or the thrill of standing on a cliff, with waves crashing below? If nature calls to your soul, my fine art photography brings those moments to you! Through my lens, I capture the heart of nature’s beauty, transforming it into vibrant photograph prints and ready to hang metal prints that fill your home, office, or special space with peace, joy, and inspiration.

I was born legally blind, navigating a world of fuzz and blur. As a kid, I dodged glasses, fearing the taunts of bullies. During school eye tests, I’d eavesdrop on classmates reading the chart, memorizing every line to fake my way through despite seeing only a fuzzy mess.

Everything changed when I was eight. While school shopping, my dad noticed me squinting at price tags, holding them inches from my face. That led to a trip to the eye doctor, who confirmed I was legally blind; but with glasses, my vision could be nearly perfect. 

The moment I tried on those lenses, the world snapped into focus. I’ll never forget walking into our backyard, slipping on my glasses, and gasping at the sight of individual blades of grass. “Wow, I can see them!” I exclaimed. My brother, pausing his furniture refinishing, was stunned. “What? You couldn’t see that before?” To me, grass had always looked like a green carpet. He was heartbroken but overjoyed that I could finally see.

That day, the world became a vibrant, crystal-clear wonderland—and it still is. I’m endlessly grateful for the doctors, medical advances, and solutions that opened my eyes. This gift of sight fuels my passion for capturing nature’s magic through photography, sharing the beauty I once couldn’t see with all of you.

Originally from the lush landscapes of Maui, Hawaii, I’ve always been drawn to nature and adventure. Now calling Mooresville, North Carolina home, I spend my days exploring the misty waterfalls of the Blue Ridge Parkway, the majestic Great Smoky Mountains, and the oak-lined streets from Savannah to Hilton Head Island.

Creativity brings me me joy! I pour my soul into every photograph, striving to capture the true essence of each stunning place. My journey as a photographer began when family, friends, and fellow artists saw something special in my work and urged me to share it. Now, I’m thrilled to bring these moments to you, hoping they inspire the same awe and appreciation for our incredible world.

Thank you for being here, nature lover! Which print speaks to your heart the most? Which one will help you reconnect with the wonder of nature when you see it in your home?

If you have any questions please contact me and I'll respond as soon as I'm able to. Thanks so much for visiting!
