My Story
About the Photographer
Growing up in the vibrant Atlanta area, I trained in ballet, jazz, and tap, and had the privilege of performing with companies like the Atlanta Dance Works, Ruth Mitchell Dance Theatre, Gwinnett Ballet Theatre, and DeKalb Community College. My journey took me to the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Entertainment Department, and after moving to Roanoke performance opportunities continued with the Roanoke Ballet Theatre and the Mill Mountain Theatre Conservatory.
I strive to capture moments that create beautiful memories and enhance your presence in the performing arts community. As a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) recognized by the Professional Photographers of America, I am committed to excellence in every image I create. Being an active member of many photography associations, I regularly attend conferences and educational lectures to bring fresh ideas and techniques back to my studio, ensuring that each session captures your unique vision beautifully.​
​
I look forward to working with you!​

Welcome to your customized photography journey!
Once we connect, we'll select a date for your session and arrange a consultation via Zoom. In this meeting we’ll cover the location, desired vibe, and plan hair, makeup, and wardrobe to ensure you feel completely ready.
​
On the day of your session, you'll be greeted warmly as you settle in and unpack your wardrobe options in a private changing area. Our photography space is designed with your safety in mind, featuring studio-quality marley laid over a wooden floor for optimal comfort. We will begin with small movements to gently warm up your body. As you feel more comfortable and ready, we’ll progress to larger movements and jumps. This gradual approach ensures you build strength and confidence safely.
​
Your images will be reviewed in real time as they are captured, providing you with valuable feedback to enhance your technique. This process also allows you to select your favorite images on the spot. By the end of your session, you'll leave the studio feeling confident with a stunning collection of photos.
​
After your session, your photographs will be carefully enhanced to optimize exposure, color, and background cleanliness. Minor adjustments, such as blemish removal, will be made, but your actual dance form and technique will remain unedited. The completed images will be delivered in a digital gallery, allowing you to easily download them for applications or social media. You also have the option to purchase prints directly from your gallery for a tangible keepsake.
