I am 30 years old and from Poplar Bluff, MO. After moving to St Louis 10 years ago, I achieved my certificate of Culinary Degree at Le Cordon Bleu and started working 2 jobs. When the opportunity to work for Woven Bone came into my life in 2017, I decided to add photography to my resume as well. I have always had a passion and fascination with taking photos, mostly landscape, so when they answered my email about the job, I jumped in with both feet! I quickly learned the ins and outs of small photo sessions with families, newborns, children, and couples to early morning into the late-night wedding days, and I would not change it for anything.

In 2020, Woven Bone came to an end and I knew I couldn’t let this come to end for me as well. Photography is too fun and I love the creativity behind it. So, that’s when I got the courage to start Ten Eleven. I took everything I learned from Woven Bone and took it with me. Now, I am proudly and nervously trying this thing! A business with my name on it. Yikes! So scary! But, I am trying, learning each day, and jumping in with both feet…again.

Every week day I start in the kitchen at Whole Foods Market creating menus and catering platters for clients and on the weekends, I get to be just as creative in another artistic way with my camera. My love for photography keeps growing with each client and family I meet. I look forward to my growing future with Ten Eleven and the clients/friends I make along the way. Come with me on this journey….lets be friends!
