I’m rooted in ancestry and lineage, drawn to small joys, and endlessly curious about new places. I love coffee shop stops, long walks, dinners with my closest friends, and quiet nights in with my animals. Slowing down isn’t always realistic for me, but it’s something I intentionally make space for in my work, especially through the use of film.
Anxiety and mental health are part of my lived experience. I believe in speaking openly about it and in the quiet power of connection, through people, art, and shared moments, to heal and create understanding.
my mission is to protect presence and vision autonomy through visual narrating
ICED LATTES | IM A SAGITTARIUS | BELLY LAUGHING TO THE POINT OF WHEEZING | CROWD EFFERVESENCE | THE CHICAGO BEARS | MAKING THE MIDWEST MY ENTIRE PERSONALITY | THE PERCULATOR | CRISPY DIET COKE WITH A LIME | SLOW MORNINGS | A STRONG THUNDERSTORM | SOUP | RUNNING AWAY TO THE MOUNTAINS
These are a few of my favorite things
I clock body language and headspace before I ever press the shutter. If things start to feel stiff or rushed, we pause. If the energy feels good, I don’t mess with it.
You don’t need to perform, pose, or “do it right.” I’ll guide you just enough to keep things flowing, then get out of the way so the real moments can happen.
comfort first
ALWAYS!
I’m watching everything. In a loving way.
