Light. Adventure. Stories.

I’m a bi-coastal photographer—rooted in Seattle, often working in New York—specialising in branding, interiors, and architecture. Every project begins with a collaborative brief and an editorial eye, always chasing the perfect light to honour intentional design and honest storytelling.
From the textures of a handcrafted space to the quiet confidence of a creative entrepreneur, I craft imagery that is clear, elevated, and personal. When I’m not on set you’ll find me trekking Pacific-Northwest trails, collecting new light and fresh perspectives for the next story we’ll tell together.
