I started my photographic journey in college with film photography. For a year, I immersed myself in the technical process of developing photos by hand. This academic foundation ignited my love for visual storytelling and artistic expression. Seeking a more versatile and immediate way to capture my work and progress, I transitioned to using a DSLR camera. Over time, I have developed a keen eye for composition and lighting, ensuring each photograph I take is captivating.

As a full-time graduate student in Fort Smith, AR, artistic expression keeps me grounded and provides multiple ways to communicate my thoughts and actions. I intend to not only share the joys of photography with you as a client, but also foster a community of all creative levels!

If you’re interested, I have a blog page here and on Instagram @Ruthscapes that will showcase my day-to-day adventures in Arkansas- a place to document my progress! Feel free to follow so y’all can grow and create alongside me!
