PHOTOGRAPHER
& Comfort blanket
BEHiND THE SCENES
My vision has evolved over 18 years as I’ve walked through the big parts of life and learned how to understand people (myself included) — what makes them feel safe, seen, and valued.
I have been a photographer while also wearing many other hats of life - mathematics major, hedge fund assistant, social media guru, magazine print ad designer, ski-sign maker, construction company receptionist, email marketing maven, copy writer, BFF, wife, divorcee, mom, single mom, wife again.
I’m an empath with an honest sense of humor.
A chicken lady with bestie vibes.
I have been granted freakin’ miraculous opportunities to grow my business to where it is today thanks to my winding path and the network of insanely talented and nurturing people I’ve connected with in my slight sub-forty years of life. In fact, some of my best friends have been clients, and some clients have become my best friends!
More fun facts below.
Fun facts:
My husband builds elevators.
The best part about this is if you can build an elevator you can built anything. So. I employ him to do so on the frequent.
I’m An East Coast Kid.
Born in Boston, raised on the sea coast of New Hampshire. I’ve lived in Vermont, Montana, Massachusetts, and Colorado and made the cross-country drive 5 times.
What’s in my IV? Diet Coke and Sarcasm.
I love dry humor and quick wit. It’s one of the main reasons I scroll aimlessly on the gram - my algorithm is on FIRE with funny. And the Diet Coke gene is hereditary. Ask my mom.
I SCUBA.
‘Member that handy husband? He’s also a dive master. So by osmosis, I’m a diver. I’ve been diving in the Red Sea, Ecuador, Galapagos, Honduras, Bahamas, Bonaire, Cayman Brac, Turks & Caicos, and St. Lucia. Next stop, Cozumel.
I have an identical twin.
This is my go-to fun fact. Her name is Kate (@houseofturk) and we haven’t lived in the same state for 20 years. But we talk 5/7 days of the week. I also have an older sister, younger brother, and two step-brothers. All cool.
I love thrift.
I have been shopping thrift for so long that my wardrobe is basically all thrift or investment pieces I love. It dates back to my first Goodwill tee that said Mr. Dingaling Icecream. It was hot. Fast fashion is out. Thrifting is in. Need to know the best consignment shops in or near Evergreen. HMU.
I’m a mathematician.
I graduated from UNH with a B.S. in Mathematics with the intent to teach. I even earned my teaching license in Massachusetts which is a true feat. But have you ever been in a 7th grade math classroom??? It’s brutal. So here I am, not teaching math and getting schooled by my own kids’ math homework.
Did you ever notice the word photo-grapher??
Guys. I know it comes from the roots [light] and [write]. But I also think it’s funny that it has the word graph in it and I happen to just love graph paper. It’s a mathematician thing.
I’m an indoorsy outdoorsy girl.
I’ll camp and hike like a good Colorado girl. We have a lil 26” camper we call Barnes Camp. She cute. Want to rent her?? Go to Outdoorsy.com. I always have my nails done. My hair girl is my BFF. If mosquitos are involved, imma stay home.
