I have been a passionate documentarian for as long as I can remember. All the things I have gravitated towards in my life have included storytelling, whether it be through dance, writing or photography. These creative arts ground me and help me to slow down and savor every last moment of life. I feel, I dwell, I ruminate, and then I create. Photography gives fuel to my insatiable desire to make things last forever. It is how I celebrate and preserve the beauty and heartache that stirs beneath my bones.
I am a hopeful romantic, a dreamer and joy monger. I'm also a dancer, writer, and photographer; but most proudly, I am an intentional and sentimental mama. I feel most alive when I'm challenging cultural norms, drinking something bubbly, eating something savory, and cuddling with my family. I live with my wildly enthusiastic daughters in a small town outside of Portland, Oregon.
