I believe being seen clearly beats yelling into the void — every time.
(Energy isn’t what trips people up. Confusion does.)
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ME?
I’m a creative pragmatist.
I believe creative energy and imagination work best when supported by a clear plan.
I’ve spent over 20 years photographing women of all ages and stages, guiding them through the experience of being seen — often when it feels uncomfortable at first.
Before focusing on personal brand work, I photographed women in environments that required calm under pressure and emotional fluency — from weddings to intimate, transitional moments. That background shaped how I work: steady, observant, and deeply attuned to what people need in order to feel at ease.
I’ll be honest — I've always been more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it.
But I know how I make my own buying decisions... I want to see the person. I want some familiarity before I say yes.
So I got over myself and showed up.
Best business decision I ever made.
And when I'm not working? I’m usually moving — traveling, hiking, camping, packrafting, skiing, or otherwise spending time outdoors in the Pacific Northwest. The rhythm of nature matters to me. It's what keeps me grounded, curious, and present...which is how I love to show up for the women I photograph.
