I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Growing up, photography became a way I could express myself and document a variety of subject matters throughout my life. Through university I became inspired by femininity, vibrant colors, individuality, and documentation. I found passion in empowering the person in front of my lens and showcasing individuals unique stories through portraiture. I like to connect with each of my subjects and create intimate and honest images that showcase who they are. I create unique sets in order to produce a diverse collection of images that exhibit beauty and individual expression.

I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Photography with a minor in Art History. I have extensive knowledge working with a number of different photo mediums including digital, 35mm, medium format 120, and large format 4x5 and 8x10 film.
