Born and raised in Maryland, I'm East Coast through and through. My roots stretch from New Jersey and New York to Massachusetts. Growing up I always considered myself a creative person with a deep curiosity about the world.
My love for photography began at 14 after reading about a National Geographic photographer documenting an active volcanic eruption from a helicopter. From that moment on, I was hooked—not just on photography, but on the idea that a camera could be a passport to adventure, storytelling, and connection.
I've always dreamed of traveling anywhere and everywhere. As soon as I got my driver's license, I was loading up my camera and heading out on day trips, chasing light and exploring new places. After high school, I moved outside of Boston to attend the New England School of Photography, where I immersed myself in the craft and discovered a lifelong passion for yoga. During my time there, I worked as an in-house photographer for a local yoga studio and graduated in 2020 with a major in Editorial Photography and a minor in Fine Art Photography.
After graduation, I returned to Maryland for a year, photographing families, maternity sessions, and everyday moments. Then, in July 2021, I packed everything I owned into my car and headed west. For six months, I lived out of my car, exploring the country with my camera in hand. Since then, I've visited 42 states and counting, and have called places like Sturgis, South Dakota, the coast of Georgia, and now Sedona, Arizona home.
Those experiences have shaped not only who I am, but how I photograph. I'm drawn to authentic moments, genuine connections, and the beauty that unfolds when people are simply being themselves. My approach is rooted in observation rather than direction.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me exploring trails, practicing yoga, or planning my next adventure.
