Originally from Southern Maine, my family and I moved to Eastern North Carolina at the close of 2019—just in time for the unforgettable year of 2020. During those quiet, uncertain months, I juggled homeschooling a fifth grader, caring for my four-year-old, and, for the first time, picking up a camera. That was when my fascination with old homes and forgotten places truly began.

While I’m drawn to sweeping landscapes and the occasional candid of my children, my heart belongs to the weathered beauty of old farmhouses and forgotten homes scattered along ENC’s backroads.

With each small road trip, I found pieces of history framed in peeling paint and leaning porches. Over time, my lens has also turned toward homes given a second chance—those in the midst of careful renovation or already restored to their former grace—reminders that even the most timeworn places can breathe again.

Most of my work reflects the surrounding counties of ENC, but my journey is far from over. Each photograph is a keepsake of history, beauty, and quiet resilience—shared so others may see what time has not yet taken away.
