my philosophy
Think of your favorite photo. My guess is it wasn’t taken by saying cheese or posing awkwardly for the camera. So why should a photographer ask you to do either? A good photographer doesn’t force a shot, or direct their subject into painful poses. A good photographer sets their subject at ease, evokes a feeling, or prompts a candid moment and shoots the result. I design and direct my sessions around this concept. Fun, connected sessions produce fun, connected photos. Simple as that.

about me
While attending college at UW, I apprenticed under a fantastic Seattle film photographer, shooting weddings and learning the ins and outs of shoots. Committed to my career “plan”, however, I got my masters in business and spent a decade in sales and marketing, keeping photography just a side hustle.

After my son was born in 2012, I couldn’t ignore my calling anymore. I quit my director role at a sustainability startup and became a full-time photographer. Photography never ceases to challenge or excite me. I love this work, love growing my art, and will undoubtedly still have a camera in my hand when I’m 90. If genuine photos are your thing, let’s work together!!
