I started as a professional photo editor in 2006.

​

I worked part time as a studio manager and photo editor for a photography legend, Lance Johnston, while I went to college. I worked on the open second floor of his studio. I could see and hear everything Lance said to his clients. I learned some amazing techniques from Lance – even how to make a photo look hand painted. 

​

I also put his weddings albums together – one 5x5 print at a time. He had a system at weddings. He knew the staple items to catch at every single event and he was consistent. This is how I learned how to put a wedding timeline together. 

​

I had hundreds of 5x5 prints that I had to arrange in a way that best told the story of the day. This inspired me always think of a wedding as a story. Even if there are unexpected twists and turns – those are the details you want to remember. 

​

After I graduated from the University of Central Arkansas, I worked in corporate America. I built two marketing departments and was also the graphic designer for the third largest real estate company in the nation. I offered our agents headshot sessions through the company! 

​

Before I was anything else, I was an actor.  

I helped my friends update their headshots! 

I started creating a style.  

People started talking.  

And I kept pushing.

Business is great! 

Thank you guys!
