The Story of a Jewel
I was born into the sixth generation on my family's farm in Hastings, Florida. I am the second of four children and the oldest daughter. Growing up, I learned to love and appreciate the outdoors. I was homeschooled K-12 so I had plenty of time to spend roaming the farm. While doing so, you begin to see the little things in the creative way, which is how I can now turn the simplest things into a photo opportunity.
In 2015, I graduated high school and began college at our local junior college. I received my Bachelors of Applied Science in Organizational Management from St. Johns River State College in the summer of 2018 and began working at the college full time in the athletics department as the Athletics Office Specialist.
In the summer of 2019 I began taking photos again. And in November of 2019 obtained my business license to take my passion for photography to the next level.
January 7, 2024 I married my best friend and the father of our two children (FERAL boys!!!) He allowed me to fulfill my dream of being a stay-at-home wife and mother and it is the best life I ever could have pursued! My boys know the front of my camera VERY well and love modeling for me and taking their own photos. They are my inspiration and my life as I continue photography.

“Love love love her! Our family session turned out amazing! Having three kids three and under is a task in itself, nonetheless trying to get them to cooperate, and she rocked it! She even captures the unexpected!”
