The pillars that hold up my photography practice are:

 
  • Consent

  • Humanity

  • Honesty

  • Beauty

  • Sacredness

  • Relationship

Photography to me is a love story.

 
 

It is a way of indulging my own curiosity and desire to see another and to hopefully reflect the overwhelming beauty I find there back to them in a way that lands.

I will always prioritize a photo that captures a glimmer of the essence or ethos of the magic I experience in the witnessing of the person I photograph, over a gorgeously coiffed and posed one.

 
 

When a client hires me we identify what our intentions are, we create a plan, we show up fully, and we allow for the session to do what it does. I have thousands of photos that prove to me there is a magic that is enlivened when this framework is followed. 

When a client hires me the experience is collaborative, consensual, creative, and honoring. I won’t have it any other way. 

By nature of being, you are indeed art but you will never be a “subject” in front of my lens (unless this is explicitly requested and agreed upon in service to a particular project, or creation).

What makes my photography meaningful is the connection that lives between me and those I photograph. I’m not interested in transactional photography, I’m interested in relational photography. Photography for me is a spiritual act. 

I understand what it takes to create opportunities and spaces where you will feel invited to be brave enough to show yourself fully.

This is subtle, nuanced work that has deep roots and can’t be earned exclusively through a weekend seminar or certificate program.
