My art history degree and studio art background, combined with a lifelong love and appreciation for art museums, have internalized an idea that once an image exists, it exists forever, and a powerful image is one that engages you as deeply the 100th time you view it as it did the first time.

I’ve harnessed my neurodivergence-related elevated sensory perception, channeling it through my work to create a full, sensorial experience in a single image. I want you to hear the stillness and quiet in the air, imagine the the suppleness of skin, or feel the creaminess of lipstick—live in an image, not just look at it.

In a world of constant scrolling and instant gratification, my goal is to create arresting, compelling work that asks for a pause, and wholly envelop the viewer into these brief, impactful moments that celebrate the full width and breadth of beauty for all it is and all it can be. I want to celebrate a fine art sensibility within the world of commercial photography.

I live in San Francisco, but as a native East Coaster, I travel frequently and usually shoot as a local. Please contact me for availability.
