I'm Maryland-raised and Nashville-based, but am ready for whatever plane tickets, road trip, or hiking boots your vision requires
I'm your willing-to-jump-in-a-lake-or-climb-a-mountain-to-get-the-perfect-shot-for-you photographer.
I'm your guide to all things planning epic photos, your advocate for all things breaking (or intentionally choosing not to break) traditions, and your personal expert on all things getting you the best photos ever.
I'm a creative to bounce your ideas off of, a storyteller to capture who you truly are, and an adventurer ready to meet you anywhere in any weather.
I got my first camera in
Seventh
grade
Now a decade
later I'm using that expertise to
take photos that are
Raw,
extraordinary
Timeless,
Photography is usually stressful- being on camera isn't natural for most people, you're overwhelmed with options, you may only get one chance to get these photos.
why I dedicate so much more time into doing the heavy lifting for you. Clothing guides, location recommendations, permit research, and photography expertise at your disposal.
living life to the fullest and savoring the present moment, that's when I can capture timeless photos that you'll love and won't be able to stop showing off or reminiscing on for years to come.
Classic old-timey film photos- they're nostalgic and gritty and imperfect.
Movies- they're able to communicate emotion, tension, relationships, etc. with just light and composition.
But my favorite inspiration is simply light itself. Streaming through a window pane, car headlights piercing through the darkness, sunlight bouncing off the ocean, light is endlessly beautiful, creative, and inspiring.
I once lost 32 consecutive games of the card game war- the odds of that are less than one in eight billion. Making me statistically the least lucky person on earth.
Also I was born on a full moon, Malone is my real, legal first name, I'm on a continuous and difficult journey to learn all the lyrics to "Gaston" from 1991's Beauty and the Beast, I geek for queso, and my husband and I are on a mission to visit every US national park (15/63 down)!
(1) Love- loving God and loving people in all I do :) (2) Adventure- I'm an enneagram 7 and an ISFP (the adventurer) so needless to say I believe in exploring the tallest mountains and the smallest towns and the random plot of trees behind your house. There's adventure anywhere we're willing to find it! (3) No Regrets- life is too short. Have fun. Get dirty. Be present. (4) Gratitude- appreciating allllll of the moments, people, things, health, experiences, good times and bad times. Finding the value in everything.
I married my high school sweerheart- and now we're hitting all 63 national parks!
before studying abroad in New Zealand for 5 months
I spent a month in Asia
I'm an enneagram 7 (the enthusiast) and an ISFP (the adventurer)- so basically I'll go with you wherever and support you in whatever crazy dreams you have! Hopefully here for a good time and long time :)
I'm usually barefoot- I even got married barefoot! And when I'm not barefoot I'm wearing barefoot shoes (which I wear to every session and wedding just in case!)
