I had worked two serving jobs while in full time design school and saved all my money. But just a few years ago you would have found me feeling pretty exhausted from working 8 hour days on my feet as a waitress for 13 years. I feel happiest when I have freedom, and when I surround myself with other creative people that are on a similar frequency. It’s just become so evidently clear to me that my purpose is to pay attention to the beauty in the details and share them with others. I see pictures even without having my camera in hand. I notice the beautiful details in everything everywhere I go. But one thing has always remained the same throughout my life, I’ve always been naturally drawn to light and how it waltzes with details.
My path has been one of taking risks, transformation, and allowing things to shift.

Every brand that I’ve worked with is so different, so pumping out the same look and style for everyone doesn’t sit well with me. I’m a photographer that believes it’s not about perfecting my own unique style that’s most important, but it’s more about our client’s specific needs and branding.

She’s a super organized Virgo she helps to amplify the process and outcome of the work that I do. Now I work with an amazing Art Director, whom I appreciate so much for all of her planning skills.

Through that process of trial and error I learned that I love being on set and post editing, but I didn’t excel in pre-production and planning. Which looking back was a good thing for me to learn what I’m actually good at, and not so good at. I was always trying to do everything myself. When I first started out I used to try to wear all of the hats. The first, is understanding the importance of team work. There’s two very important factors behind my success.
