Born in Cincinnati, Ohio and raised on Vancouver Island, Canada my childhood spanned a continent and two countries. I now live in the south in a quaint little town with my husband Shaun and fur baby Madison.
My love of vintage treasures grew after I moved to the south. Decorating our home and soon after finding myself setting up my first antique booth in the largest antique mall in the south. My first small business…Grit Antiques.
I had no idea opening my first booth with $150 dollars would send me down this creative path. It was filled with shows, several locations, monthly barn shows and traveling the states buying (something we still enjoy doing).
It was during a chance meeting with a customer that everything would change. We were having a great conversation and after she left I felt like she didn’t see the
beauty in my vintage pieces. I knew in that moment
that I wanted to change that!
My camera became a creative outlet for me and my vintage treasures became props.
I feel blessed that my work has been featured in several magazines and enjoyed by many with my print collection.
With my love of photography growing we decided to convert the barn that my husband built for my antiques into my barn photography studio.
Also building a Flower House nestled in amongst my cut flower garden. I always knew that one day I would grow the flowers I photographed.
Photography & Flower Farming has taught me patience & to embrace the magic of life.
Photographer, Flower Farmer & stylist of time worn props, encourager of kindred spirits, & teacher to beginners.
