Many memories from my childhood include cameras and connection in some way. Now, I always carry a film camera with me in case I want to capture something for my own memory bank. I’ve been photographing for close to 10 years. As a result of the pandemic, I found myself exploring photography more intentionally as a way to leave my home in a safe way. I found myself following artists and creators online who produce beautiful art but found I didn’t see the type of love that represented me or how I felt in relationships. I decided to capture and create the art I would want to represent me and who I am, my style, and aesthetic. I now capture love in all forms in a way that is art-focused, meant for all lovers. 

I find joy in documenting the world as I see it.

I’m a Seattle-based LGBTQ elopement and intimate wedding photographer specializing in film and digital photography as a method of storytelling. 

These are some of the things that make me, me.

I’m a Cancer Sun, Taurus Moon and Cancer Rising. I want to pet every dog that I see on the street. Iced coffee in any season. I like to rewatch TV shows and movies because I find the things I missed. I like the atmosphere of breweries and trips to the desert. I like to explore and say yes to most spontaneous plans. I’m equal parts ‘“go with the flow” and “intense” simultaneously. I don’t like sugar in my coffee. I care deeply for my friends and family, they are a big part of who I am. I like road trips and mismatched coffee mugs at breakfast restaurants and diners. I prefer Love Island to the Bachelor, but will carve out time in my schedule to watch both.

Capturing the in between moments, nothing is ever forced. 

Some recent art I'm proud of.

LET'S CREATE TOGETHER

Photography is a way of telling stories of truth and intimacy, qualities that inspire me. I love all of the in-between moments. While you’re here, I want to help facilitate a space that feels like home.

My art is meant to be
authentic, loving, and timeless.
