meet the photographer

Me-

First and foremost, I have an unwavering love for the Lord. My passion for photography runs deep, and I truly love capturing life’s meaningful, fleeting moments. There’s something so fulfilling about holding a camera, clicking the shutter, and knowing you’ve preserved a memory someone will treasure forever.

I’m 18 years old, but don’t let the age fool you—I’m passionate, dedicated, and always eager to capture your best moments.

I’m currently working toward another dream—becoming a dental hygienist. I love helping people and supporting them as they work to better themselves, and since oral care plays such a huge role in your overall health, this career feels like the perfect fit for me.

Nature brings me peace. I love waking up to the sound of birds singing, leaves gently rustling, and the glow of a sunrise peeking through the trees. In my free time, I enjoy singing and keeping my space decorated and organized—it brings me a sense of calm.

Other fun facts:

📸 I shoot with a Canon EOS RP paired with a 24-70mm f/2.4 lens—my go-to duo for creating beautiful images.

💡 I edit each session with care, tailoring the style based on the location and natural lighting to bring out the best in every scene.

🥩 My favorite food is Zaxby's.

📺 When I need to unwind, my comfort show is The Vampire Diaries—Team Damon, obviously.

I’ve been doing photography for almost 3 years, and in that time I’ve photographed over 500 individual, couple, and family sessions (including minis!). I’ve also captured weddings, events, and everything in between—if you can dream it, I’ll photograph it.

💛 I don’t have a favorite subject; I shoot anything and everything! Every moment tells a story, and I’m just grateful I get to help freeze it in time.

Family-

I have a wonderful family! There’s my mom, dad, stepdad, an older sister, a younger sister, a brother-in-law, and two older stepbrothers. I also have my loving Nana and my G-Dad. I never got to meet my grandparents on my dad’s side—he’s a bit older than most dads of people my age. Of course, I have many more family members, but those are just a few.

I also have two dogs: Coco and Luna, and a bunch of cats (cats are my favorite!). Last but definitely not least, I have a loving boyfriend. We’ve been together for 4 years.

Some fun facts about my family: My stepdad, Pat Chamberlain, and my mom, Chelsea Chamberlain, run Out of the Ashes, a homeless and drug abuse shelter here in Rutherford County. My dad’s side of the family was born and raised in England. My uncle, Clive Haynes, painted all the murals in downtown Forest City and Rutherfordton. And my dad, Steve Haynes, was in a rock band called The Hustlers—look him up!
