My Story

How I Got Started

Growing up in the middle of nowhere, Alabama, I always had a polaroid camera in my hand. So it’s not a surprise I started my journey in a darkroom. But I didn’t believe that I could succeed solely as a photographer.

So I searched for a different career with which I could combine my photography skills. That led me to Nashville, TN, where I acquired my bachelor’s in Graphic Design and then received my Associate’s in Commercial Photography.

Since starting my family, I have had the chance to evaluate my priorities and realized I want to support more moms like myself. I formed my business because I know I have a lot of skills I can offer to help mom-owned businesses! I want to provide moms more time with their families and relieve the stress of having to do everything on their own.

My Story

Where I’ve Been

Before I was out of college, I kicked off my career when I started working for the Country Music Association (CMA), filing and organizing their archived photos. This taught me the importance of organization and the methods of managing files efficiently. Even though I don’t work at CMA anymore, I still help support them at events throughout the year.

The biggest takeaway from working at CMA was meeting some of Nashville’s amazing photographers. One of which was the Tennessee Titans’ head photographer. Because I already had photography and editing skills, he invited me to join the team for seven seasons. Being an avid football fan, this opportunity has by far been my favorite! It fulfilled a dream I never knew was reachable, which taught me a valuable lesson.

After college, I started working with a company contracted by Victoria’s Secret. I worked 12 hours a day on the third shift, editing Victoria’s Secret website and magazine photographs. My physical and mental well-being did not work well under the conditions, and I quickly learned that wealth was less critical. But the process of receiving feedback from superiors, picking up someone’s work where they left off, and fine-tuning my skills was a learning curve I benefitted from while at this position.

While looking for an opportunity on a different shift, I discovered a Graphic Design position with a staffing agency. I was brought in as their sole designer to create their print marketing materials. I also helped design, build, and manage over five websites and an app. Shortly after, I started building their social media presence by creating 100+ Facebook and Google My Business profiles. Once they were up and running, I helped manage and train users for each profile and provided the entire company with branded assets they could post. With our company multiplying, it is evident that we needed a team to keep up with the requests. I transitioned to the Lead Graphic Designer, where I handled the front and back end of projects to ensure all materials were provided and the finished product was as requested. But our team continued to grow more, and our Marketing Director could not keep up with the day-to-day operations while in back-to-back meetings. I then transformed into the Marketing Operations Specialist, where I managed our entire team (projects, files, organization), was the right hand of the Marketing Director, and compiled stats for the company.
