I'm so glad we've connected through my online "home!" If you're new here, here's the scoop: I'm a light and airy photographer specializing in family and wedding photography around the greater Chattanooga and Cleveland, Tennessee areas.
I'm married to my second shooter and best friend, Jimmy. We're raising the most handsome boy and three furbabies.
For me, photography's not just about taking photos, it's my way of loving others. I hope that through my business I build genuine relationships that create an impact in people's lives and my community.
Here's to making new friends!
Hey there!
Aside from being a professional third wheel on wedding days, I'm a mommy, wifey to my second shooter, enneagram 1w2, and obsessed with all-things-nature. I left my position as a Master-level Social Worker to run my photography business full-time. Before making that decision, I didn’t think I could make the same difference through “just photography” as I I could with my degree. But, I believe that God gave me my photography skills and the opportunity to run a business for a divine reason. He has proved time and time again that there are no accidental bookings and each one serves a purpose. That gets me pretty stinkin' excited!
There's joy, passion, and curiosity in every move we make from the first phone call to the first camera click to days spent editing. Every detail matters, and our couples and families come back to ARP because of that. We hope you’ll click around, learn even more about us through our work, and say hello!
I'm a Chattanooga & Cleveland, Tennessee, Family & wedding Photographer for those who value an authentic and exclusive experience with timeless captures.

I'd love to connect with you!
As a Chattanooga & Cleveland, TN family and wedding photographer, I realize there are so many options for photographers. So, I'm excited you're considering ME! As a former bride and groom, and now parents, we have an even deeper understanding of how special these seasons of our lives are and get giddy about capturing all the details, candids, and moments in-between. I'd love to get to know you and the vision you have!
