Want to know a little more about me?

As a child I grew up with a mother who was a portrait painter and she was constantly teaching me about art. I would lay on her studio floor and look through art books while she played classical music and smoked cigarettes. I spent my childhood living in different countries around the world so I was also given a heavy does of cultural experiences. We lived in Russia, Kazakhstan, and Austria and traveled to so many more places. True Story: a village elder offered to buy me as a bride in exchange for sheep and rugs while we were hiking in Kazakhstan. Today, my Signature Photography Style is a combination of all of these experiences, distilled into a single, cohesive vision. Through my work, I strive to capture the beauty and wonder of the world around us, and to invite viewers to see the world through my eyes. Tragically I lost my mother to suicide in 2008. Through my work I try to find a way to honor my mother’s legacy and carry on her creative vision through portraiture, all while capturing the beautiful moments of my own motherhood journey.
