ABOUT ME

I’m so glad you’re here :)

Whether we’ve had the chance to meet in person or not, you’re here, interacting with my work and in some sense I think that makes us friends enough.

I started photography when I was around 12 (believe it or not, it was because I thought the shutter noise was satisfying…). A few years and many turns down the road, I shot my first wedding at 16, and let’s just say there was no going back :)

I studied architecture in college, as different as my two worlds are, in many ways, to me, architecture and photography are both their own versions of artistic storytelling. People and experiences happen in space, and photographs are a way to frame these stories. I am constantly in awe that I’m blessed and trusted to be a part of your story and how you hold on to it.

A few of my favorite things:

I think one of the best ways to get to know someone is to get to know what they love :) So here are a few of my favorite things!

One of my favorite things to do with new friends is grab a cup of coffee (or tea) and chat about life :)
Current coffee order: a good pour over, or on occasion an oat milk flat white:)

I have found that inspiration, awe, wonder, and creativity are stumbled upon just by wandering through life with open eyes. Whether it’s walking mapless through a new city with a few rolls of film and a notebook, or backpacking through a national park, I want to experience the world and its people by moving through it :)
