creating nostalgia for the now!

I was raised by an art teacher mother, a movie-obsessed father, and siblings who always joined me in my world of make-believe. I grew up performing music, studying theatre, and painting my heart out. It’s hard to sum up how special my life has felt, which is why I let photographs do the talking for me.

Currently relocating to rainy and radiant Portland, OR - I travel often, shoot always, and sleep never.

When I’m not having the time of my life traveling the states to document love stories and capture family portraits, I work on sets or expand my agency portfolio.

After a few years in milestone photography, I was aching for set environments like I was used to when earning my degree in filmmaking. And I live in Los Angeles for heck’s sake, so I might as well get back to it.
