I’m my most creative self when the weather is ‘bad’ and with smaller groups of people, and you can probably see it in my work.

I’m drawn to moody colors and smaller, more intimate weddings and elopements and portrait sessions where we’re free to be our most authentic selves.

I did not grow up planning to be a photographer - I was not the girl in the high school photography class - I have never been the one constantly documenting, clicking, posting.

But, I was the girl who brought her book with her everywhere. Who romanticized the raindrops on the car windows like a music video. I grew up outside in the Pacific Northwest, near Seattle, weekend getaways as the affordable staple in my childhood. I have always been too stubborn to follow any path other than my own, and that path led me to this passion project of mine, telling the little stories that make us who we are through a camera.

I followed a traditional career path for awhile there to do what I went to school for. I have degrees in Biology, GIS, and Sustainable Urban Development, and did some pretty cool work making maps in both the government and corporate worlds. But art and photography, mountains and oceans, connecting with people’s hearts and minds, kept calling to me as something I needed to fulfill. I photograph today for a reason, and because that reason wouldn’t let me ignore it. Some day, I will likely return to that more traditional career path. But today, find me up in the hills, capturing stories like yours.

My husband Blake and I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for (nearly) our entire lives. We live south of Seattle with our two cats, Finch & Felix, and our Australian Shepherd, Ophelia.

I am an Aquarius and will always find my unique vision in different scenarios. I pick up a lot on energy and it influences how I document with a camera, finding the unspoken subtleties that make us human, and the reasons we have chosen our partners.

There’s nothing I love more than a roadtrip on a rainy day with coffee in hand.

Or a healthy plate of olives, cheese, and bread paired with wine.

Or a huge bowl of pho or ramen after a hike (or for no reason at all).

Or doing absolutely nothing at home but watching classic movies with candles lit and a heated blanket, while fresh bread is baking.

What I’m drawn to has a significant influence in the way I create art. I would love to talk to anyone and everyone about the following:

Pan’s Labyrinth

The Lord of the Rings

Kiki’s Delivery Service

Shutter Island

Interstellar

Harry Potter

Haunting of Hill House (series)

Based out of Seattle, Washington.

I primarily photograph in Washington and Oregon: Olympic National Park, Mt. Rainier, Oregon Coast, Columbia River Gorge.

I am always open to further travel, which makes up about 10% of my yearly calendar.

I saw a gap in the photography industry, where most photographers operate in the space of loud and outgoing and performative posing. As an introvert, our stories deserve to be told too. There’s power in quiet connection and how I photograph is catered towards bringing that to the forefront.

How I do it:

• Getting to know ‘you’ first and foremost in a quiet way, your personality, habits, and hobbies that are important to you

• An emphasis on the candid and natural moments. I give you your space to be yourself first, posed photography isn’t necessary.

• My camera shutter is silent. Nothing is worse to me than your moments being underscored by the constant click of a camera shutter and jarring you out of your peace.

• Fly on the wall energy. I don’t need to be your hype-girl or screaming from the rooftops for you. Instead, I’m your quietly artistic soul mate that’s making a Spotify playlist inspired by you as soon you book with me.
