I am married with two children and two dogs. I graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in Psychology.  After college I worked as a social worked for some time before I went back to school to get my nursing degree.  I was a Labor & Delivery nurse for 17 years before switching to Oncology Infusion.  I am currently back at UVA in their BSN to DNP program to become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. 

As much as I love being a nurse, l love being a part of your journey and capturing and creating memories for high school teens, seniors and families.  I am so excited that you’re interested in a session with me!

2, Pepsi is my addiction, but Cherry Coke took over during Covid!
3. l could live off of butter noddles and rolls. 
4. l am an only child. 
5. l don't have a favorite color...l love stripes! BUT if l had to pick, then it would be navy and orange! Go 'Hoos!
6. l am a t-shirt and jeans kind of girl!
