Creating an intimate, beautiful image is not something I do alone. It is a collaboration between me, the photographer and you, the subject. Without the dance between the two, there is no magic. My gift as a photographer is that I am able to cast my expectations aside and meet others as they truly are. I fall in love with each and every one of my photography subjects as I am able to see the unique gifts they bring to this universe. When people are truly seen it is amazing what they offer in return! And when they open their hearts and themselves to me, I capture the image of their Highest Self.
I attended University of Massachusetts, Amherst for my undergraduate degree in African Studies & Dance and Massachusetts College of Art for my Masters of Fine Arts in photography. I completed a 300+ hour training of certification in The Work of Byron Katie, a powerful form of self-inquiry that examines the unconscious aspects of our mind. I have studied under the tutelage of master meditation teachers including Eckhart Tolle and Sadhguru. And I completed my yoga teacher training with musician and Yogi, Todd Norian. My meditation and yoga practice follow me off the mat and cushion to join me behind the camera and in all other areas of my life.
I am voraciously passionate and curious about our existence! I love to listen, to share, to understand and to fully participate. My life is full of wonder and I am eternally grateful.
I am eager to hear your story and create beautiful, authentic images together. I am grateful for your attention.
