Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Southern Weddings Magazine – Looky Looky!
My phone was off the whole cruise! I swear, it was! I turned it back on Monday morning, open my inbox and the very first email I read is one from Southern Weddings Magazine with the spread below in it. At first, I questioned why they were sending me this until I opened the spread to see my photo was published! And surrounded by some really inspiring photographers too! Let’s just say this news made my month! 
Here is the cover to the issue – go find it in stores November 11th! (Cover photo shot by the amazing Jeremy Cowart)
And some really cool ring shots – mine is 4th down, in the middle! Ring shot from Kelly and Ryan’s April wedding! Yay!!
