the ART
of AUTHENTIC
MOMENTS
As a lifestyle photographer, my passion lies in creating intimate portraits, contemporary equestrian photography, and heartfelt family chronicles.
I find magic in the ordinary and turn everyday moments into something extraordinary. Every picture I take tells a story, rich with emotion, quiet elegance, and inner resilience. I focus on the often-overlooked details that define individuality and relationships, seeing the beauty in unposed moments and transforming them into visual stories. My photographs are like love letters, composed in light and genuine emotion, celebrating and honoring the true essence of you and your loved ones. I photograph life as it unfolds – less staged, more real, perfectly blending the raw essence of photojournalism with the elegance of lifestyle photography. In this fast-paced world, I offer you a chance to pause, breathe, and cherish life's fleeting moments.
While based in Portland, I regularly travel throughout Oregon and Washington to photograph for clients across the Pacific Northwest. My passion for authentic photography knows no boundaries and I'm available for travel globally.

Portraits
Personal | Seniors | Branding
Every life chapter, every strand of your heritage, every curve of your body, and every shade of your skin - all that makes you one-of-a-kind. Whether it's celebrating academic achievements, elevating your professional image, or embracing your individuality in a candid portrait, each photo narrates a distinct chapter of your story. Choose your ideal backdrop from Oregon's natural landscapes, the comfort of your personal space, or the chic sophistication of a Portland studio. -
Equestrian
Horse & Rider | Commissioned | Farm Calls
From powerful Horse & Rider portraits of you and your heart horse, and Fine Art projects that are distinctly yours, to wistful Goodbye sessions commemorating a beloved friend, or branding to elevate your business - each session is created with your story in mind. Whether you're working on a ranch, taking lessons on a seasoned school horse, or competing as a polished Grand Prix rider, I tailor each photography session to what matters most to you.

Family
Lifestyle | Couples | Maternity
Family photography is like a mixed tape for the soul, filled with the romance and delightful chaos of your life's journey. From those 'just said yes' butterflies to the magical pregnancy glow, the whirlwind of toddler antics, and the iconic tween eye rolls. These are the memories you'll hold - your family's heartbeat captured in a frame.
p.s. Pets are always considered as family and are encouraged to join!
