A bit about me

I grew up in a household where photography wasn’t just a hobby—it was a way of celebrating life. Both of my parents are fine art photographers. So from a young age, I was shown the magic of photography. To capture stories that live inside a single frame. That early exposure gave me an intuitive eye and a deep appreciation for the art of photography.


While my first love has always been performance (I'm a Broadway actress by trade), photography has always been there in the background, quietly pulling me in. After making my Broadway debut, the show unfortunately closed very quickly after. It was heartbreaking. And I found myself going from the highest high, to the lowest low. It was in that low that I realized it was time to give this other creative passion the spotlight it deserves.


I first fell in love with landscape photography. It came naturally to me, because I just wanted to document the beauty of the nature I saw. Then came my love for film. I was drawn to the way the colors and qualities of film can hold onto a moment. That love for natural beauty and film still shapes how I shoot today: honest, warm, emotional, and always with an eye for storytelling. I find so much joy capturing people and passions. Celebrating milestones, documenting everyday beauty, and helping others bring their visions to life.


Let’s make something beautiful together.
