Ever since I can remember, I’ve been an observer of people and the natural world. I express myself through my photography and writing, using these to help others tell their own stories. More than anything, seeing the world through my camera has been a discovery of light and details that I never noticed before. I love capturing candid, unposed moments for my clients, giving them memories of both the ordinary and extraordinary, that they can cherish forever.
My home is in the foothills of the beautiful Cascade Mountains just outside Seattle, Washington, but I also love traveling with my camera.

My husband Michael is my best friend. He’s also my wedding photography partner, intrepid travel buddy and in-house tech/funny guy.
Though we have very different styles, we both use Fujifilm cameras (which means we’re always trading lenses and equipment back-and-forth). Our styles mesh well so that we’re able to more fully tell your own unique stories in photos.
In 2019, I became a breast cancer survivor. I also completed my first 5K in about 30 years!
