How it all started

I have loved photography since I was a little girl, and you'd often find me with some type of camera in my hand.

At 12, my life changed forever. I was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness that eventually required a bone marrow transplant. At 16, I underwent chemotherapy and radiation and spent 10 months straight In the hospital. This is really when my love of photography grew. I really wanted to document and journal my journey. Photographing my view from a hospital bed along with my everyday challenges became a way to capture and journal my experiences all while providing a therapeutic escape.

Flash forward a couple of months in the hospital, and I had the opportunity to meet Garth Brooks. He surprised me with all new camera gear and told me to follow my dreams. Here I am now, almost 10 years later getting to live out that dream and photograph other people's special moments, so they always have something to look back on...a photo journal to last a lifetime.

McKindree is an amazing photographer, her energy and talent is the best! Her editing and presence when taking photographs is amazing! All the shoots I have been a part of have gone super smooth and the photographs she give back are breathtaking. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who is searching for a photographer!
