Welcome! I’m a photographer based in Pittsburgh. I have lived all over the country and now find myself in Allegheny County. I have a background in ballet, earned my BFA in Dance Performance and Arts Management from SMU, and went on to dance professionally while also teaching dance. I also have a background in social service and arts nonprofit administration.
My background in dance plays a central role in my work, allowing me to recognize and capture the natural beauty of movement, emotion, and expression. My photography blends documentary and cinematic elements. I focus on capturing what’s already there. Real moments, genuine emotion, and the details that often go unnoticed.
I appreciate thoughtful design and make intentional choices with my clients. I do not take a copy-and-paste approach. I offer a highly personalized experience for people, couples, and families who want timeless images of both their significant and everyday moments.
