About Me
I have always had an eye for photography and framing. After years of taking photos with smartphones, I finally started photography professionally in 2017 as a way to engage in self-care. As a community lawyer who works on difficult types of cases like domestic and sexual violence, I found this to be a beautiful way to be “present” and find beauty in the ordinary.
I have professional experience in:
Event photography, including corporate conferences, bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays
Food photography
Court weddings and outdoor small wedding receptions
Professional headshots
Portraits and lifestyle shoots
Couples and family photoshoots
Street photography
I have also had some of my street photography from Black Lives Matters marches in 2020 published in magazines.
My photography is not my main source of income, but something that I do because of sincere enjoyment. This means that I spend a lot of time on every photoshoot and on editing photos. I do not use bulk edits but rather give separate time and attention to each photograph.
I aim to be a visual storyteller through my photography, and I take professional classes, attend photo walks, and continuously engage in more opportunities to grow in my skills.
