A little about me...
My Life //
Alaska is home for me and probably always will be. I was born & raised in the rugged Alaska interior, and am currently based in Palmer!
in 2023 my partner Phillip (of 14 years!) and I designed and built a cabin in Palmer, Alaska. After living in our van full time for 7 years, our cabin build is our pride and joy, and remains one of my greatest life accomplishments.
​
In my free time, you'll often find me skiing (downhill, bc, xc), hiking, road biking, and just being outside. I also love cozying up at a coffee shop or brewery. My favorite types of food are Thai and Japanese. Phillip and I take pride in stocking our freezer as much as we can each year with meats and salmon we've harvested ourselves. MCM design has my heart, and I'm a huge supporter of other small businesses + creators!
My Art //
​
I received my Bachelors of Fine Art in Photography & Ceramics. Photography really holds my heart because of the emotional pull of documenting life's most tender moments, as well as the opportunity to create uniquely captivating imagery within them.
​
I am passionate about empowering people, particularly women, through creating art that makes both the model and viewer feel something. I believe art is supposed to push boundaries and bloom emotion in the viewer.
​
My focus & passion are in both portraiture and elopements. I have an undying love for high fashion and editorial aesthetics, and at the same time, when it comes to elopements and weddings, I embrace a more documentary and candid-storytelling approach.
Our Experience //
​
I can equally be your hype girl at our portrait session, or the calming presence on your wedding day- a fly on the wall, capturing your day as it unfolds naturally and candidly. Our connection will flourish if you have a passion for emotive, storytelling imagery, a discerning eye for aesthetics and art imagery, an appreciation for the outdoors, and a sense of adventure to explore off the beaten path in pursuit of the perfect shot.
​
Each session or elopement is unique, and I strive to create a beautiful body of imagery that tells your story in a way that feels true to who you are, with a touch of fine art.
