In 2011, at 21 years old, my amateur interest in nature photography expanded to portraiture photography when the owner and photographer of RIK Photography and Bluff Mountain Inn Wedding Venue needed a new assistant. Though I had never photographed people nor had I ever picked up a DSLR camera, Rick King took me under his wing and taught me everything I know today, as well as what I continue to learn. About 2.5 years in the photography world, I felt comfortable enough to call myself a professional photographer, and I continue to grow.

In my 12-year photography career, I have photographed over 1,000 weddings, countless families and children, and have broaden my interests to take on and photograph just about anything.

As of right now, my desire with photography is to take it to the music industry and photograph creative portraits of musicians and other artists. I absolutely love behind the scenes!
