Based in Seattle by way of Paris, I've spent nearly a decade in documentary film as a Producer and Story Development Director at Vignette.

That background combined with being the daughter of a photojournalist undoubtedly shapes how I approach photography - with nuance, curiosity and a deep reverence for people and the stories that come with them.

At their best my photos share a cheeky peek into people’s lives and aim to celebrate the fleeting moments that happen in between.

It’s a charming world out there sometimes, if you look in the right places.
