​For me, photography is both deeply personal and inherently communal. 

 

Asa woman with autism and ADHD, I am drawn to light, color, patterns and movement. I thrive on moments where, in a split second, I see something special and freeze it. 

​​​​

Yet I often feel like an outsider looking in on life flowing around me. But through photography, I have learned to embrace my unique perspective and find joy connecting in the moment, and later too, as you experience my work.​

 

​You can count on me to capture your moments and deliver timely editorial or documentary photographs that powerfully bring your story to life!

More about me

​

In 1997, I saved money to buy my first 35 mm Nikon film camera and in 1999, I took my first class in photography and print making at the Sawtooth Center for Visual Art in Winston-Salem, NC. In 2010, I graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Madison with an MS and PhD in Sociology where I studied the micro moments of social interaction and visual sociology. And in 2024, I studied photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. Later that year, I left my research job to travel and pursue photography full time.
