“Beauty will save the world” - Dostoyevsky
—
Born and raised in South Carolina, I grew up around photography as my grandfather owned his own studio/business while my mother worked as his editor and secretary. Naturally, I gained an interest in the art which eventually developed into a passion. My attraction to photography coupled with my love for the beauty of the natural world first led me to nature and landscape photography and has now expanded to include portrait, family, pet, and commercial work as well. I became serious about my passion in January of 2020 and have since applied myself to learn and grow as much as I can as an artist, often spending hours at a time reading articles and studying my favorite photographers online. Most importantly, photography has been a great avenue for me to be able to step outside, meet many wonderful people, and see some truly incredible places. The knowledge I have gained by simply being out in “the field” is second to none. I am deeply convicted that the beauty one encounters in nature is vital to the health and flourishment of the soul and I hope to provide a taste of that experience through my photographs.
