My love of photography began in 2015 when my family gave me a camera as a birthday gift. I very quickly developed a hobby about which I am passionate.

I belong to two excellent photography organizations in St. Louis, The Missouri Nature and Environmental Photographers (MONEP) and Women in Focus St. Louis (WIFSTL).

I began to feel like a photographer when one of my photos was chosen by the Foundation for Photo/Art in Hospitals to be placed in healing environments around the world. To date that photo hangs in hospitals in Nepal, India and Zimbabwe.

As I continue to learn the craft, my photos have been included in the Missouri Department of Conservation Natural Events Calendar for 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and The Endangered Wolf Center 2026 calendar.

I’ve exhibited my photographs in Missouri and Illinois, including my own exhibit at Powder Valley Conservation Nature Center in Kirkwood, Missouri.

In addition to nature photography, I recently began shooting portraits and truly enjoy working with clients to create special and unique photos.

Thank you for visiting,
