“I don't pride myself on being the best writer. Especially when it comes to writing about myself. However. I am a great photographer, in a sea of great photographers, doing what I feel I am meant to do. Which is to create memories for you through photographs.

My love for photography is what shaped my career taking photos for couples getting married, businesses with a message to share, and parent’s welcoming a new baby into their home.  When you mix your career with your passion everything seems right. My photography work is for me - a moment with friends, an aging building that strikes me, or candids of my daughter. The kind of images that end up printed in photo albums for family and friends are what got me started while still in high school. Being able to stop time is a powerful tool and I can’t seem to get enough of it. I’m obsessed. I find I’m at my most creative behind a 35mm or medium format camera. The time spent waiting for my film to develop and come to life ignites my imagination and keeps me pushing.

I like to stay busy spending time with my friends and family. I have a daughter who means everything to me, and a husband who supports me in all I do. A few other things I love: coffee, waking up early, trampolines, plants (I have many), shooting film, sour candy, taking road trips, chocolate chip cookies, Sweden, rollercoasters, and WDGY.”
