Behind the lens
Meet the Photographer
My photography journey started around age ten, when I was gifted a Vivitar point-and-shoot film camera for Christmas. I photographed the people and places in my life and I remember waiting with such excitement for the film to be developed. The idea that I could capture a moment and hold onto it forever felt like magic—and it still does.
Over the years, I moved through newer cameras and kept documenting my life one photograph at a time. In early 2012, I bought my first DSLR and being able to change lenses completely hooked me. From there, my work became more intentional and more artistic. I've explored many styles, pushed myself into unfamiliar territory, and slowly refined a style that feels like it's my own.

I photograph because it slows me down. Being outside with a camera gives me a reason to pay attention—to the light, to the weather, to the things that are most often missed.

How would you describe your photography style?
I’ve settled into a fine art style that I find visually appealing and destined to hang on a wall. I look for those “wow” moments—the ones that make you look twice—and try to capture those. I’m constantly in awe of the world we live in, and I know I’ll have many more of those moments to capture an share with you.
Do you plan your shots or work more intuitively?
I’d say it’s a healthy mix of both. I can plan for an amazing sunrise, but the weather still has to cooperate—and as any photographer knows, the weather apps are only so accurate. I often arrive at a place with a general sense of curiosity and an attitude of “let’s see what we can find.” Planning helps me capture certain images, while intuition allows me to explore new compositions and ideas for the future. Sometimes I walk around and see if anything speaks to me. Sometimes it doesn’t—and that’s okay.
When do you feel most present while photographing?
When I’m deep in nature, far removed from the noise and complexity of everyday life. As I move through the landscapes of New England, the world tends to fade away. Without outside distractions, I feel a strong sense of calm and presence—something I try to translate directly into my work.
How much editing do you do to your images?
I keep editing to a minimum, focusing mainly on brightness, contrast, and balance. I shoot in RAW format, which captures all the original data from a scene. Rather than letting the camera process the image on its own, I take things into my own hands—becoming the final filter before the photo is shared. Every image is a part of me in its own way.
have a question?
I’m always happy to talk.
