ABOUT
MHPxOWH542.JPG

I believe in spending as much time possible playing outside. 


I’ve been known to drive hours for a waterfall, husband, pup, and Topo Chico at my side. 


I’m constantly on the go, but will move heaven and earth to grab a good cocktail with a friend. 


I began shooting in other countries eight years ago but that love affair with travel and experiencing other cultures started when I was quite young.

Branding: For the Powerful Story Just Waiting to be Told

What makes you, you? Whether you represent a high-brow hotel franchise, hand-press tortillas in a taco truck, or brush colors across a canvas like a modern-day Monet, I want to capture your story. Together, we’ll sit down to cast vision and create a mood board that brings your business to life. I love working in the intersection of where you’ve been and where you’re going, so if you need a brand refresh, let’s book it.

Fashion: For Beauty That Makes You Audibly Gasp

Looking for a long-term relationship with heart-stopping images? You just found your new best friend. I frequently partner with bloggers and artisans to showcase cocktail-ready couture, hug-you-just-right denim, and wear-anywhere wardrobes. When you book recurring shoots, you ensure consistent and on-brand photos, plus regular coffee dates with an entrepreneur who gets it. If that sounds like a fit, your first drink’s on me. 

​

Travel: For the Adventure That Demands to be Shared

Ready to hit the open road? My camera go-bag is packed for humanitarian photojournalism, once-in-a-lifetime elopements, breathtaking bridal shoots, corporate conferences and retreats, vendor spotlights, or any other adventure you’ve dreamed up. Past work travels have taken me to the Red City of Morocco, the grey streets of London, the lush, green cliffs of Ireland, and everywhere in between. If you need a fly-happy photographer, let the journey begin.
