about the artist

fun. grace-filled. authentic.

I have been passionate about photography for as long as I can remember. From my first Fisher Price 35mm when I was 5 years old, I have not had a year without a camera in hand. I have over 10 years of professional photography experience, from being a documentary photographer with the military to photographing tropical weddings in Hawaii. All of them have had one thing in common: people are my subjects. 


Portrait photography is my passion because I am a connector, extrovert, and believer that there is a special grace in every individual. Imago Dei. I get so much joy in meeting my clients for the first time and getting to capture their unique beauty and glory through the medium of photography. 


Additionally, my degree is in Visual Communication Graphic Design. Over the years I have worked as a graphic designer in the areas of freelance, marketing, and publication design. Graphic design is my secondary passion and one of my favorite outlets to serve my local church, community, and fellow small business owners. I'm open to work! Connect with me on LinkedIn.
