I've been shooting film intentionally for the last decade. I grew up documenting family road trips and sleepovers with friends, making my sisters model for me and my friends smile for me.

At 13, I begged my mom for a photography class, and it changed the direction of my life. I became the head photographer of my high school newspaper and won a national award in journalism for a photo I took at a school unified meeting.

​I studied filmmaking in college, thinking it'd be more practical than a degree in photography. After 8 ish years of working in commercial, TV and Film, I now work a desk job for a college.

​Last year, I had my first show at a small space in Highland Park, Los Angeles, where I sold a big framed photo of a horse in a field to a stranger. He was blurry-eyed, four days deep of sleepless nights with a newborn, and wanted to surprise his wife with a photo of mine.

​I own fourteen cameras, I think. I usually just shoot on the one, except when I'm underwater.

​I think we're all here to find a connection with each other, and the little moments of human-to-human, living room floor-sitting chats are what spark every sense of joy within me. Add a camera, and I'm complete.
