About Me


Retiring Educator Turned Photographer – Capturing moments, creating memories.


Though I’m newer to the professional side of photography, my passion for storytelling through the lens goes back decades—long before my own children were born. Photography has always been a way for me to freeze time, to hold onto the laughter, love, and little details that make life so special.


As a nearly 30 year high school educator, I know how to manage crowds, organize my time, communicate clearly and effectively, and am detail oriented.


My goal is to make your experience not just about photos, but about creating lasting memories in a relaxed, enjoyable way. Whether it’s a milestone, a celebration, or the simple beauty of everyday life, I’ll work with you to bring your vision to life and capture the moments that matter most.


I bring the best of both worlds as a seasoned, energetic photographer and high school teacher. I understand the emotions and expectations of parents and grandparents on such a big day, while effortlessly connecting with the younger crowd—their banter, trends, and TikToks included—so everyone feels seen, comfortable, and celebrated.


I live in the Marietta area, but travel often for sessions. I work in the surrounding Paulding, Douglas and Cherokee counties, as well as in Atlanta, South Georgia. I find myself frequently in North Georgia, and I'm no stranger to Alabama, Tennessee, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Florida,


Let’s make something beautiful together!

A Family Affair...


Photography is truly a family affair! My daughter has embraced the creative spark and built her own thriving photography business -Mayacweddings.com - capturing stunning moments with her unique style and artistic vision. Watching her grow into a talented professional has been an inspiration, and it’s incredible to see her passion turn into a career.


Sharing this journey has been one of the most rewarding experiences. Photography has given us a way to connect, create, and preserve life’s most cherished moments together. It’s more than just a profession—it’s a family passion that keeps growing with every click of the shutter.
