About

I am a passionate photographer from Phoenix, Arizona, born and raised in the desert. Being from this vast, picturesque desert, I have deep appreciation for diverse landscapes and the outdoors. I have always found myself in nature. Nature brings me closer to myself. It is a sanctuary and a playground for spectacular experiences. My work is primarily in nature, as that is simply just what I love.

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Master of Business Administration at ASU and have worked as a Lab Director in the cannabis space for years. But there is another side of me outside of the lab that brings me so much joy, and that is creating. I have experience with the arts from music, textiles, and drawing/painting. The last few years have required my creative side to take the back seat so I am bringing my joy for connection and creativity back into the mix, this being photography as my primary creative focus. I approach each project with a keen eye for detail and a desire to tell compelling stories through imagery. With a deep love for art and movement, I focus on capturing not just moments, but the emotions and connections that bring life to every photo.

My purpose in photography comes from a culmination of passions. In past years, I spent time creating clothing to bring out the sparkle in people and I hosted events for the vibrant art community to collaborate and bring joy and purpose to the forefront for attendees and artists alike. I have cultivated a rich appreciation for diverse artistic expressions and supporting people to feel beautiful, creative, and worthy of goodness in their own lives. This passion fuels my photography, allowing me to create dynamic, heartfelt images that resonate. Whether it's a candid moment or a thoughtful scene, my work embodies a celebration of love, creativity, and the beauty of human connection.
