Friends (11)About Me
Photography, as a profession, wasn’t something I thought about while growing up. It wasn’t until high school that I found my niche for it, thanks to my amazing photography teacher (I know that's a total cliche but it's the truth) that helped me see the world completely differently through the lens of a camera. Seeing photographically she would call it. And when I graduated high school, she told me to keep clicking the shutter, and I did.
I started out capturing the beauty of what was around me. After all growing up in Portland, Oregon it wasn’t hard to find a spot that screamed, “Photograph Me!” So that’s what I did, and landscapes became my subject of choice. I still continue to shoot landscapes, after all it was my first love and that is why you will find a whole page dedicated to it. In 2008 I realized that I wanted photography to be more than just a hobby, I wanted it to be a career. It wasn’t long after I started my BFA in Photography & Design at the Art Institute of Portland in 2009 that I set my sights on commercial fashion photography. Although I like to create my own lighting in the studio, I absolutely love working with natural light. Something about how the sun can give such a beautiful soft glow just makes the photograph come to life. And giving the photograph an environment can really help it tell a story.
