about me

My earliest memories include my mom photographing me and all of my eight siblings, whether it was simple moments like playing outside, holidays, or the annual (dreaded) family photo. I loved looking at her pictures and quickly became obsessed with taking photos. I remember tagging along for a senior session around the age of six, assisting with the lighting, and using an old point-and-shoot to be just like mom. I was hooked.

While growing up on a farm in Minnesota  was where my story began, it was in California where I truly fell in love with photography. Just like when I was little, I started grabbing my mom's camera - bringing it on my trips, eager to document adventures and the in-between moments. That simple act of picking up a camera sparked a passion that's become a central part of my life. 

I love that I am able to remember the trips, memories, and moments that  have shaped who I am. Getting to do that for others is beyond meaningful. I'm grateful every day that this is my job!
