ABOUT

I've always been a storyteller. As a child, I fell in love with a pen and paper, documenting our family travels with humor and writing short stories on my family's Dell. But when I picked up my family's point-and-shoot for the first time, I was hooked. My sprawling yard became the backdrop for a new kind of storytelling, and my love of nature became intertwined with this creative outlet.

As I grew older, I turned my observations to people. I brought my camera along everywhere, pestering my friends with the constant snap of my shutter. I moved 2,000 miles away to university, where I studied journalism and English literature — taking my penchant for people and stories into a new form and developing different ways to know and understand perfect strangers.

And then I fell in love with an extraordinary guy and discovered a side of me entranced by writing about and capturing the great love stories of the people around me.

I graduated university at the precipice of a global pandemic, and in that uncertainty I found my path. The process of pursuing this passion has been markedly different from anything that came before. I am no longer lost, chasing after other people's dreams or expectations. Every time I pull out my camera, I am awe-struck and inspired by the humans on the other side of my lens.
   
Looking into their eyes, it's impossibly clear: my only job now is to document their story with intention and care. And that's a freakin' awesome responsibility.
