Ironically, my family was never a family-portrait kind of family. Our family photos are candid ones my dad took, or the rare all-family photos that a family member snapped at a gathering.

For the parent who’s usually behind the camera If you’re always the one taking the photos—or ducking out of them—this is for you. So many of my clients tell me they don’t love being in front of the camera. Some feel awkward, others worry it’s vain, and many say they just want their kids to […]

When I look back at the work I’ve done over the years, the projects that have stayed with me aren’t just about photography—they always involve something one step deeper.

There’s no peace outside. “My dad was a fundamental Christian. He killed the joy of everything. One day he caught me […]

“I’ve had so many chapters in my life; it’s so strange to look back on them because I don’t see how or if [music] would ever be a part of it. I was part of a duo, sometimes trio, touring musician group for ten years. Music was a huge part of my life—songwriting—it was huge. […]

I’m excited to launch a dear-to-my-heart portrait and conversations project. I have always loved using photography as a way to tell stories, build community, and help people feel a sense of belonging and shared humanity.
