I am a wife, a mom to three awesome kids, two loveable dogs, and 9 sweet chickens in my small hometown in Kentucky. I love Jesus and wear His name with honor. I am a learning addict, book hoarder, dog lover and truth seaker. Sunny places and warm weather are my favorite. Converse shoes and graphic tees are my best friends. Donuts make me happy. I love pink.

I am a former preschool teacher, homeschool mom, and a current contributor for the Dollywood Insiders blog. I am a published childrens author, a self taught artist, and photographer. I owned one of the top senior photgography businesses in Southeastern Kentucky for 8 years. After a little nudge from God, I decided to close my portrait studio and pursue the path of food photography.

I love to cook and have been the head cook in my kitchen for 25 years and the main "hostess with the mostess" for all of our holiday and family gatherings.

I believe that each day is gift. I believe that everyone has a purpose. That purpose is to direct others to Jesus. I hope I'm doing a good job.

I believe that we are perfect in His eyes. I believe in encouraging others. Family, happiness, and heaven are the rewards. All other blessings are bonuses.

I believe in goodness. I believe in chasing after joy. I believe that if you stop learning, you stop living. Age is just a number and it's never too late to try something new or live your dreams. Never stop living.
