I have been enthralled with photography since I was a teenager. Having the power to stop time while capturing 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 in the Pacific Northwest. I studied film and visual art at Evergreen and settled in Northern California where life started getting fun. Over those 25 years, I worked in advertising, taught high school photography, partnered with Art Walk, San Francisco to host a pop-up gallery; and eventually, co-owned a photography company for over a decade. I have since found my way back to the Pacific Northwest.
Photography has allowed me to invite people to see their own beauty and place in the world, whereby I have come to discover mine.
When I’m not photographing people or Real Estate around Portland, I can be found painting, listening to audiobooks while doing the never-ending dishes, sweating at yoga, napping or asking for hugs from my three teenagers. My brilliant husband, son, and identical twin gingies keep me inspired, appreciative & joyful.
