PHOTOGRAPHY - MENTORSHIP - EDUCATION
SEE MORE, NOW.
your photographs help you see.
your most unplanned, impulsive, casual photo taking opens up this well of knowledge and wisdom and witnessing of yourself that can actually help you live your life more deeply. It opens everything up to what actually matters.
The only thing that matters is right now.
And right now, whatever, you're looking at, pressing a button to, there is something so earth shatteringly vital about that because you're choosing to do that.You are intuitively choosing, “this” out of everything available to you in your whole life.
this.
now.
your photographs are your breadcrumbs...
a portal to presence.
Photography is a way of engaging in your life.
Photography wakes us up to see what is right in front of you.
I turned my biggest fear into a beautiful vision for my life.
At 11 yrs old, I was in bed staring at the dark ceiling and I had my first ever panic attack while considering the meaning of death. I just kept thinking, "nothing. nothing, nothing, nothing." The idea that everything that was so important to me would eventually turn into nothing, was too much for my 11 yr old brain to handle.
I became obsessed with documenting, saving, & creating things with meaning. Grease stained lunch notes, home video stills, and creating immersive installations dedicated to loved ones present & passed-I viewed everything through a nostalgic lens. I saw through the current state and into the sentimental core of it all. I received my BFA in Photography and continued living my life with a deep desire to make it count & not miss it. (whatever "it " was)
In 2021, the death of my beloved dog, my first real loss in life, confirmed that the work I had been creating and my process for living it served a higher and an infinitely more expansive purpose. Grief, comfort, love, self discovery- I didn't find refuge in grand, polished places. I found what I needed in the chronicles of my seemingly mundane nothingness. There is was, the whole time. I knew it all along and yet- I needed to be reminded. Don't we always know? Sometimes we all just need reminding.
Since then I have launched a podcast, an intimate membership, education, & photographic commission offerings. All of my work is centered around showing you that your "nothing" is really your everything. All you have to do is see.
Join me at the intersection of mindful photographic practice, connecting to your truth, & creative expression so that you can live more of your life on purpose.

Technology changes. Gear changes. Your taste changes. What's "on trend" changes. We commit so much time, space, & energy into putting a lot of effort into perfecting something only for it to change. What if that energy went into something far more timeless? Far more enduring? Far more fulfilling?

I was driving home and did something I've never done- recorded a podcast episode in the car. I just couldn't help myself-I needed to speak right there and then. Not waiting until I got home or in a more ideal situation- I was vibrating with joy & purpose & need to speak directly from that moment. It felt URGENT to speak from this place of knowing and feeling in that very second. I had spent the last 2.5hrs photographing a family doing absolutely nothing- & it was simply everything.

The Photos You Didn't Know You Needed - a convo with my best friend.
In this episode, I share a gallery of photos with my bff. She's a self proclaimed, type A, always thinking 24 steps ahead type- but she was surprised when the photos I delivered- ones that she thought she didn't want or need- quickly became her most favorite family photos yet.
