For as early as I can remember, I've always been drawn to the world around us... the way everything looks when you really stop to take it in; the colors, the stillness, the chaos, the quiet beauty in between the smallest moments. A camera was always in my hands. Always. 
​

Eventually life led me on a detour path to earning my master's degree in speech-language pathology. While this ultimately wasn't the career journey for me, it shaped me in ways I never expected. It taught me to listen past the words and really see people. While I hold so much love for the field, I couldn't ignore the deep calling that I've always had for photography. A hobby and passion that had been a part of me ever since I was young. I had found my voice, my art. It guided me back to what has always felt like home... creating, observing, and telling stories through my pictures. 

 

Every story I photograph looks different... different light, different feeling, different art. Always looking to use the environment and the subtle interactions that tell your story. 

My goal is always the same... that when you look back, you don't just see a photo. You feel the moment all over again. A memory that feels like yours.​
