I tend to see the world best with one eye closed and the other open to a viewfinder. Whether it's photographing a nationally known band on stage, a news event, or any other number of situations, one can usually find my face half-hidden behind a camera. After graduating from MTSU with a degree in Mass Communications concentratiing in photography, I began to refine my photography skills (honed by many years taking photos at events, of local bands, and working for Sidelines, the university's newspaper) in a multitude of settings. I have spent the past few years freelancing for various clients, including the Nashville Scene, Yamaha Commercial Audio, Southern Girls Rock & Roll Camp, Gamma Blast productions, Pitchfork Media, Village Voice Media, and many others. While I love live music performance and event photography, I will gladly shoot anything. From casual to studio, I can and will find the best way to photograph anything. As much as I have enjoyed (and will always enjoy) my current endeavors of live music and event coverage, I am looking to enhance my freelance business in other areas. Creating art, discovering a multitude of ways to express myself and the wishes of my clients, and seeing the world through my lens is what I strive for in photography.
