I feel incredibly lucky to be in a space where my work is my life, my passions are my work, and where I not only love what I do, but feel a true sense of belonging in it. Taking photos isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something that has shaped how I see the world and the people I love. It’s how I connect with new people, putting a piece of my heart into their personal experiences. It’s where I feel most like myself, most confident, and most connected to the transcendence of this life.

I believe in romanticizing—that dawn is best spent next to someone I love, watching the world arise. I believe in the nostalgic slowness of film, and in Polaroids that capture the unspoken moments in every nook of my home. I believe in shared meals by candlelight, and in telling people you love them many times a day. I believe in the magic of the everyday.

In my personal time, I practice yoga and do pottery, and I love showing the world to my sweet pup, Sapa. I enjoy a good beer after a long hike and will dip into any body of water I find. I am joyfully busy building a life I love alongside my chosen family in Seattle, Washington.
