In 1998, I bought my first digital camera from Best Buy. It was a clunky $350 cinder-block-of-a-camera, and I lugged all 5.4 megapixels of it everywhere that I went. Photographing our family trips, our festive gatherings and sporting events, it was an extension of my teenage self that allowed me to connect with people and revel in the surroundings that came and went in my daily life.

While using my camera to share intimate moments and connect with people, it became clear that making authentic and revealing photographs is necessary for me in order to highlight the beauty I see and experience in the world around me.  Strength, energy and honesty have become somewhat of a currency to me since being diagnosed with a destructive and rare connective tissue syndrome called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which can leave me feeling lifeless and in unforgiving pain on some days.

The limitations this diagnosis imposed on me have actually helped me to grow and open many doors creatively and personally. It has forced me to find courage and love in moments of uncertainty. To be brave and confident throughout vulnerable days.

To me, closeness is sacred, and moments spent holding hands, a family cuddle, the laughter of children, embracing, shedding tears, family secrets and life’s sorrows should be felt with a wide-open heart.

This is why each project I work on is unique; because you are. Comfort, experimentation and effortlessness are the key focus points in my work. I have the superpower of walking into a space and seeing you for who you truly are, making you fell safe and radiant. With a background in elementary education, I am able to slip into your children’s magic worlds and find my way in with my camera. Unobtrusively, I float between moments to capture honest expressions that make your family unique; capturing moments that otherwise would go unseen.
