Work with me

If you’re interested in working together, send a note below with a bit about what you’re looking for. I’m happy to answer questions, talk through ideas, and see if we’re a good fit.

I came to photography after eight years of public school teaching. My time as a teacher helped me sharpen my skills as an observer and listener. My greatest skill as a teacher was in making students feel seen and respected. These days, I bring those same skills to photography instead of the classroom.
