Through My Lens

Welcome to "The Way I See It" - my little corner of the internet where photography, stories, and a good quote or two come together like cornbread and soup beans.
Here, I capture the world through my lens and my Appalachian heart, telling the kind of stories that linger - the kind you carry with you like a favorite song.

It’s a mix of grit, grace, and moments that might just make you pause… hopefully even laugh.

So come on in, friend. Let’s find the beauty in the broken, the power in the pause, and the magic tucked inside the everyday.

​

You’ll also notice a little bumble bee buzzing its way through my blog.  It’s not just a logo - it’s a part of my story.

I live with mental illness. And much like the bumble bee -who, by every law of physics, shouldn’t be able to fly - I carry a weight that isn’t always visible. Tiny wings. Heavy load.

And yet... the bumble bee flies anyway.

​

And so do we - wings trembling, hearts determined - rising, soaring, finding our way through the wind.
