I recently graduated from Florida State University where I scampered beneath the Spanish moss and studied studio art and child and family sciences. I am a professional photographer specializing in weddings, births, and lifestyle shoots. I crave and fear travel, I am a naturally timid person so for me traveling is about taking chances and learning to be a more open and spontaneous person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel I like to form friendships and catch a real glimpse of daily life in whatever place I am visiting. I want to broaden my perspective and outlook on people, trust and laugh more with strangers. Plus I am always looking to meet and learn from other artists.
As my husband and I have just graduated we are spending a few months traveling through Europe and Asia and thought it would be a good opportunity for couchsurfing. Once we finish traveling we would love to host guests in Asheville, NC where we will be moving.

Interests

When not photographing I loves to explore the outdoors, journal, travel, play with kids, watch the sunrise, dream of fairylands, and share long conversations over a fire.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to photograph you or anything that you need photographs of: headshots, your family, your home, your business, etc.
