minnesota born, parisian at heart. i graduated from texas tech university with a bachelors in theatre arts + a minor in business. i have lived in texas, florida, minnesota, france + call the colorful state of california home. acting brought me to the west coast + led me to this amazing journey into photography.

i discovered a love for taking photos in my childhood where first subjects included my dog + beanie babies. thanks to my gracious grandfather, traveling was a big part of growing up. at age 18 i had been to some 45 states, a dozen countries + europe, twice. as a teenager i would keep and carry 35mm rolls of film in my bag along with a super mini polaroid. once i went through a almost entire roll trying to get the best selfie- thankfully a phase i’ve grown out of!

i remember always wanting to capture the essence of the places i visited. i would go home + find just as much joy in my photos as in the trip itself. i am an artist by nature which has always allowed me to better see, create + capture stories in my photos.
