Thanks so much! I look forward to hearing from you.

Hearing from you makes my day. But my days are very full. Please give me 24-48 hours to respond.

We all have a story. What’s yours? 

Emotional resonance is always the goal. I compose by intuition and write about home and ancestry through the lens of photography, art, and memory.

The connection between photographic images and writing feels organic. Both are forms of visual communication begging to be understood.

I’m deeply Midwestern with Southern roots. This means I have a deep fascination with history, identity, & belonging. But also trees, hills, creeks.
