I’m originally from Los Angeles, left home when I was 15, and have lived in cities all over the country. Standing in the desert at Joshua Tree, reflecting on the immensity of the universe and everything I’ve held in my dreaming, I am my best self - deeply connected to the transient beauty of landscapes and the humans who inhabit them. I think about thinking less and feeling more, living heart-wide, being grateful for small and hidden wonders.
I live in a house that is over 100 years old and was built the same year the Titanic sank (nerd fact). I have the windchimes that I was named after. When I’m not being my photographer self, I can easily spend hours binge-watching Netflix, watching my dogs practice their ninja skills, adventuring.
And since I was a little girl, I've loved taking pictures. In 2005, photography became a way for me to frame my sense of love and loss, as I documented my father's cancer journey. It was an experience that deserved an honest retelling - as those moments disappeared, and more urgent truths replaced them. Those images are what happened and what it felt like to be there - they are affirmation. Photography captured my heart because of portraiture. Because I want people to feel really seen, and know that the moments that make up their story are beautiful and relevant.
Nothing makes me geek out more than the beauty of our humanness, and my love for the gentle ones who hold space for others. I want to be one of them.
My style is inspired by my love of storytelling; it is a combination between the artistry of editorial photography and the raw emotion of photojournalism. I seek out the most honest, candid, intimate moments as they unfold, and am drawn to natural light and creative compositions. I follow the clean lines of lifestyle work while I edit, and prefer muted, earthy tones and colors, and the depth and timelessness of black and white imagery. I am strongly influenced by wabi-sabi, a Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in things imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete; it is a powerful reminder for me to embrace the transient nature of life - simply, joyfully, honestly. I welcome the unexpected.
I am also an ardent observer, so unless it is important to you, I never interrupt a moment, nor do I recompose them. Bringing people together should never feel complicated or contrived and forced smiles and awkward poses say nothing about who you really are.
I try to frame all of my relationships thoughtfully, so that our experience together is familiar and unselfconscious; you deserve compelling artful imagery that looks and feels like your real life. I am mindful that I am documenting and celebrating who and what you love, and I hope that these images will become pieces of personal and irreplaceable art that tells your unique and precious story.

Photography is not my passion, people are. I am most inspired by you. I promise to meet you where you are and give you the space you need to be comfortable and present. And when you share your story with me, your vision, the things you are afraid of, I will hear you. I am playful, kind, and respectful of boundaries, approaching every client as a future friend.
My focus is your journey and the people and places that make you feel most yourself, most alive, and most at home. Everyone is unique in their style, personality and biography, and when I photograph you, I am creating images that capture those qualities that connect you, that are you, and enhancing your memory of them. It is what drives my love of photography – to craft images that genuinely represent the depth of our humanness. Images not taken only for the present, but created for your future self and for the ones you know by heart.

“Photography is inescapably a memorial art. It selects, out of the flow of time, a moment to be preserved, with the moments before and after falling away.“
Remember poring over photographs when you were little? Those old, hilarious, heartbreaking, awkward, beautiful moments that became the stories your family tells over and over? Photographs make you feel. These days, it’s easy to forget how amazing it feels to have unhurried, uncurated experiences. When you invest in a photographer, you are investing in making something tangible that will tie you to your past and to each other for the rest of time. It’s important to remember that your legacy deserves a more permanent home than your devices, and that there are few things as enduring as beautifully rendered and printed photographs that you can hold in your hands - that you will return to over and over again.
