I'm a 22-year-old photographer originally from upstate New York, now in Tampa Bay.

A few years ago, I packed up my life with boxes full of sundresses and flip flops. I had more dreams than I did money - ready to start a new chapter filled with growth, opportunity and a little more sunshine.

I married my best friend at 19, and today I'm a mother to a toddler boy with 1 on the way! When i'm not behind the camera, I'm working as a nurse on the weekends, experimenting in the kitchen, and soaking in little moments with family.

My love for photography comes from a place of grief. The grief of knowing how fast time flies. I believe photographs are more than just images. They are the only way to stop time.
