Oh, hello
About
Whitney was born and raised in Macon, GA. After discovering her dad's old Pentax camera in a closet, she became enamored by the idea of photography and spent her formative years shooting rolls of film of everything she could find.
She earned her BA in English Literature with a minor in photography at Mercer University. After college, she attended The Creative Circus, an advertising portfolio school in Atlanta, where she studied photography and fine-tuned her craft.
Her work is quirky, playful, and minimalist. A lot of thought and attention to detail goes into every image that she creates.
She is currently based out of Asheville, NC.
