About me

A little about me.
I'm originally from Farmsville, North Carolina but I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. I have lived in the US for over 31 years. I've had an eye for photography since I was introduced through modeling over 10 years ago. I absolutely love being a mom; it's so cool seeing my children grow into unique, caring, fun, and adventurous individuals. I have one girl and two handsome boys, No pets. I enjoy taken pictures and writing poetry.
After discovering my love for photography I started Photography With Elegance years later. I have always loved photography and know the value in capturing the most important moments in people's lives. I feel truly honored to be apart of the birth of a new baby, weddings, graduations, and senior portraits
Please contact me if you would like a special moment captured for a lifetime.
