I am a photographer for the John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, NC. The Folk School provides an endless source of interesting subjects and moments on a beautiful pastoral campus set in the southern Appalachian mountains. Photography is also an artistic passion that compliments my design work. Recently, I have enjoyed taking portraits and styling pin-up shoots. I find inspiration in historical periods, fashion, music, and subcultures. I shoot with a Nikon D300 and have a versatile eye to adapt to all sorts of situations and people. Do you have an idea for a photoshoot? Or do you need photography for your business? I’d love to talk to you! I am based in Murphy, NC, 2 hours away from Atlanta, Asheville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga.
