Missy is a native of Wilkes County NC, she grew up in Wilkesboro. She graduated from Wilkes Central High in 1985 and married her high school sweetheart that same year. She remembers taking pictures growing up with any camera she could get her hands on. The first camera she remembers using was a Kodak instamatic with the flash cube, she used many different Kodak film cameras growing up. Then her husband gave her a digital camera in 2003, after that she was hooked on how easy it was to take pictures and print them at home. Several years passed before her passion for photography came back to life in 2006 when her youngest daughter was born. Then in 2010 she bought her first Digital SLR, a Sony SLT-A55V, and that is what she is still shooting with today. She is self taught and has learned by just shooting what she loves...her kids, grandkids and nature. She loves being out in nature capturing sweeping landscapes, wildlife and the smallest details of flowers; anything that catches her eye. She is happiest when she has a camera in her hands and is enjoying the outdoors with her family.
