I have grown up loving photography! So it's been a dream come true(and is still a journey of learning)to own and operate Beyond Beauty Photography! I love people - love to watch them interact, love to watch relationships, and more than anything love to be a part of strenthening, encouraging, and supporting others that come across my path. Now I have an awesome privilege of capturing some of those moments that become memories. Having lost a mother-in-law that I loved dearly earlier this year, and facing the loss of my father-in-law, I've learned not to take those moments lightly. As an avid photographer for the past 18 years, I've also learned that the most precious pictures are not necessarily those that have the perfect pose against a perfect background, but rather those that capture the essence of of person. Pictures that bring to rememberance a laugh, a smell, the softness of a loved one's touch, so real that yesterday doesn't seem so far away.

The cane placed on a window sill, the wrinkled hand that holds tightly to a child's small hand - moments.The graduating Senior, four of her friends on the beach - moments! A baby finally sleeping sweetly - or the smile that melts your heart - moments! We all have them - don't let them slip by.

I have the most amazing husband and 4 beautiful daughters who journey with me, love me through all the practice shoots, smile when they're tired, and carry equipment all over the South! All of us have one desire to be a light for Christ, to be transformed into His image, and to be a life - through His Life - for others!
