About
Growing up in rural Oregon, I spent most of my time outdoors with my family, running in pastures, swimming in the creek, and hiking through forestland. My dad's passion for nature and love of people had a huge influence on me, which is reflected in my work.
Raw and candid moments are my favorite. I find the moments I catch in between are often the best images of all. I prefer to shoot in natural light and enjoy the process of finding the best location for a shoot, whether it is indoors or outdoors. I particularly like to mix in tangled winter trees, glowing summer grasses, the verdant greens of spring, the fabulous textures of fall, and magical light wherever I can find it. Conjuring the right scene to reflect your personality and creative wishes is even better when we dream together.
Both of my daughters, who are now grown, originally inspired my work. I continue to be creatively moved by my husband Daniel, my daughters, and my two beautiful grandchildren.
When I'm not spending time with family or friends I am enjoying hiking, yoga, and disc golfing with my husband.
In addition to photography I am a licensed massage therapist, and have been practicing deep tissue since 1996. My focus is on helping my clients with chronic pain issues, injuries, and maintenance programs for a better quality of life. I am deeply passionate about both my work as a massage therapist and photographer.
I look forward to collaborating with you soon!
