Photographer
I like to think shooting with me feels like hanging with a friend. I live in Santa Fe, NM with my husband and our three pups. We moved from Topanga Canyon to a little town outside of Lake Tahoe and now we're having a high desert adventure in Santa Fe. I'm into 35mm film cameras, handbuilding pottery, hiking and camping, spontaneous road trips, gardening, cooking with my husband, traveling the world, homesteading, scoring at flea markets, meeting new folks and hearing their stories. Growing up in small mountain town, in the Pacific Northwest, I feel most inspired in the wild.
Being a photographer isn’t a job to me, it’s a lifestyle that makes me feel wild and free and lucky as hell.
Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico & up and down the West Coast.
Happy to hit the road or jump on a plane to meet you anywhere in the world!
I have a soft spot for old photo booths. I wish I could put one in our house- it would be the perfect guest book. I'd also like to have this photo project go until we are old gramps and grams.
Adrian and I had a little wedding bash in the Scottish Highlands. It was such a fun adventure to be in Europe with our closest friends and family. We all stayed in an old Scottish manor together for three days. It was epic.
Other Portfolio
I love shooting people living their best lives! Riding motorcycles, surfing, painting, gardening, swimming, expecting their first baby, picking berries in the summer with their family, anything that brings happiness is worth documenting.
Collaborating with other creatives is a dream. Shooting your small business, brand, gathering, creative journey gives me so much inspiration.
