welcome.

When I was ten years old, I liked to run around my Los Angeles neighborhood with a disposable camera on a wildlife photography expedition (i.e. taking pictures of cats). While I've strayed away from cat photography and disposable cameras, that adventure and excitement has never left. I'm ecstatic to say that my camera and I still go on expeditions of our own -- sometimes in my own backyard and sometimes far away.


Born and raised primarily in Los Angeles with a wonderful stint in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. I am currently pursuing a BFA in photography at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Available for work in Southern California, Oregon and abroad.

me:

I spend 75% of my day laughing…or more. I believe in the reality of a genuine moment, whether that means capturing who you are, who you love or your wedding day. If you are looking for a photographer who will make you look like something you are not, I’m not your girl. But if you’re looking for someone who wants to capture the beauty of real moments, I’d love to grab a cup of coffee with you and chat about where to go next with your images and how American Idol isn’t the same without Paula.

you:

Being my client means you are infinitely awesome. You like to have fun and you might even laugh at my terrible jokes. You agree with me that Idol isn’t the same without Paula and definitely won’t be the same without Simon. You like dance parties and dreaming of traveling to faraway paradises. You consider IKEA a faraway paradise. You like the beautiful things in life and you want your images to reflect that. You believe art can be more than a painting or a sculpture–you believe art can be a photograph, a memory. Chances are this is your last year of high school or you’re in love or you believe in the strength of a family. And I want to capture that.
