I have been enthralled with photography since I was a teenager. The power to stop time and capture the raw emotion of a moment is as compelling now as it was then.
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and at 17, fled to the rainforest of the Pacific Northwest. I studied Film and Visual Art at Evergreen, then settled in Northern California, where life started getting fun. Over the next 25 years, I worked in advertising, with teenagers in the Jewish community, taught high school photography and art history, and eventually co-owned a photography company for over a decade. I’ve since found my way back home to the verdant and dreamy Pacific Northwest.
Photography has allowed me to invite people to see their own beauty and place in the world — and in doing so, I’ve come to discover mine.
When I’m not photographing people or real estate around Portland, I can be found painting, sweating at yoga, napping, or asking for hugs from my three teenagers. My brilliant husband, son, and identical twin gingies keep me inspired, appreciative, and joyful.
