So, a few months ago I received an email from PDN (Photo District News) saying that someone (STILL have no idea who) nominated me to apply for the Rising Stars competition. I remember reading it over & over & over because I simply couldn’t believe it. With the help of some critical eyes, I submitted a brief portfolio to them. Then, a month ago….a month ago (it’s been torturous to not tell) I found out that I had actually been chosen. I still can’t believe it. Honestly. To the person that nominated me…I will FOREVER be thankful.
Back in college I would read PDN (and still do!) admiring all of their featured photographers. To be included in this incredibly special collection of photographers seemed so far off but I had hoped that, one day, it would happen. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive of my work-you’re like family to me.

“The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.” The Notebook

Several months ago, I had the incredible honor of being asked to photograph an entire feature for the, now current, issue of Southern Weddings Magazine. We made our way to the opposite side of Virginia to Colonial Williamsburg for a day of being surrounded by everything beautiful. Courtney Spencer of Merriment Events designed & styled the shoot (love her!). It was such an amazing experience to be included in this issue amongst a ton of fellow creatives in the wedding industry. They are all truly an inspiration and I can’t wait for you to see the entire spread.
